Hi, I'm doing some product renderings involving an object that has glow around the bottom using V-Ray to create the glow-effect.

My question is: Is it possible to have a self-illuminated GI glow effect cast on invisible geometry?

Imagine a sphere with a self-illuminated material applied, casting the glow effect onto the ground... Is there a way to make the ground invisible yet still see the GI glow effect on the invisible ground geometry?

Thanks,
Matt
