A question about hidden objects and shaders in iray.

Hi Folks,

Basically I was wondering, when an object is hidden in a render, is rendering speed impacted by the shader that that object has? Should I make sure that all of my hidden objects have Uber applied to them or does it matter at all?

Hidden objects are not passed to the renderer at all.

So I can totally ignore hidden object surfaces? Sweet! Thanks Richard.
