I want to re-render some stuff in my scene that moves behind other object, so I can't hide everything else.

I thought about rendering just what I need to re-render, then apply a white material to what needs to be re-rendered, and a black mat to what doesn't, then use that as an alpha map.. but that crap is time comsuming.

any simple solution I just don't know about?

Thanks!

save as new scene.
apply a mat shadow material to the objects you would like to not render. They will now have no alpha and will render a black form for your objects to pass behind.

Can't you just hide you're unwanted objects (or make them "un-renderable")? Or do they need to be visible during the render?

No... It needs to move behind an object.
It can't do this if the object is hidden.
