Is there ANY way to mute or turn off secondary rays for the object but still have its secondary rays be seen by other objects. Basically I want the object to produce and recive secondary rays but not recive its own secondary rays. I can turn them off with an override, but it kills the reflections in other objects. I tried rigging it up in overrides but couldn't get it to work. If you know of anything please post. Thanks

no there isnt, but it sounds like you want to just create a place holder object.

duplicate your object and turn of whatever you are emiting. then have the object that is emiting the rays you are talking about be invisible.

good luck,
