OBJECT MANAGER • 761
Exclude: Drag all objects that should be excluded from the effects (“Seen by
Transparency”, “Seen by Refraction”, “Seen by Reection”) from the Object
Manager into the Exclude list.
Object List
You can drag & drop objects from the Object Manager into this list. By using SHIFT + CTRL you can
select and deselect multiple objects. Selected objects can be deleted by pressing Backspace or Del.,
or by right clicking (a menu will open in which you can delete all or only the selected objects).
You will see four symbols under each object. If the symbol is not active it will appear faded. You can
determine which effect will be included or excluded for that object.
The (selectable) symbols have the following properties:
Transparency
Refraction
Reection
Hierarchy
Hierarchy: If you drag an object into the list, this switch determines whether or not its child objects
should also be taken into consideration.
NOTE:
As practical as these settings are, only use them if absolutely necessary. If
you create such a scene and return to it months later, for example, you will
probably have a very difcult time nding out why what was reected or
refracted and why certain objects are invisible, especially if you have several
light sources and Compositing tags.
