Why don`t you adjust the far clipping plane of you camera?

thanks for tip. but main idea is make object invisible in render. they are still seen in the render with that way ( with far plane ). solution seems to me put the objects in layers. m I wrong ?

I my opinion this should also work for rendering, but I haven`t checked it out.
If you say so it is probably that way. :hmm:

I just tried it. You have to turn off "Auto render region" for the camera in the Attribute Editor. Then the Far clip plane is respected at render time

thanks alot but that is not what I exactly want to do. far clip is only make far objects invisible. it is very helpful tip. But I want to make invisible the object which is not in resolution gate view. Thanks for help. I ll still hungry for new advice :D .
