Is it possible to hide a forest object to the camera using the object properties?
I need only its shadows and reflection but the trees should be invisible. I tried the object property rollout but had no luck.
Using Octane Render.

Hi,
Well, the Octane Renderer is using our API to handle Forest objects and to be honest I don't know how the actual implementation is done. I would encourage you to contact the Otoy team them directly (https://home.otoy.com/get-support/) / post on their forum (https://render.otoy.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=27) regarding this issue.
Meanwhile, please feel free to convert such Forest object(s) with help of the Forest Tools (http://docs.itoosoft.com/display/FORESTPACK/Forest+Tools) to instances (and unchecking the Visible to Camera under Object Properties for those).
Best regards,

Ah nice idea. Just forgot about the forest tools to instanciate. :)
