Hello Lyne,

 

:)

 

Have you tried the masking  trick?

Put a vertex plane in front of the camera to hide the scene. Make the plane about ten polygons. Turn off cast shadows and receive shadows for the plane. Then one by one make the poly's invisable and just render that part of the scene.

 

Make them invisable by either deleting the  poly then refilling it with the Fill command - or changing ther shader for that polygon.

Join them up in photoshop or whatever. I use this all the time to rerender parts of a scene that I screwed up...

 

to zoom  in on the scene can you just make  it wireframe in the assembly  room.

 

Regards from Oz,

still having fun with Travis et al thankyou
