How to hide Plane Primitives that are lightsources from the final render?

agamersday

Hello,

I like to use plane primitives as a lightsource by using the iray emissive preset and get some good lighting from it. Now when I render my image the plane is showing, how do I hide and and don't use the light it gives?

You can set teh Cutout Opacity to a low, but non-zero value - however this will appear to reduce the light in the scene as there's no longer a visible light-source to be reflected from surfaces. This is the technique used by the Ghost Light products in the store.
