Mental Ray/Max 2012... can self-illum materials light only specific objects?

#1

Is there any way to set it so that a self-illuminated material includes/excludes only specific objects from light and shadows? Surely there is a way to do this, but if so, I’m not finding it.

Forgive me if I’m over-looking something very obvious.

I’ve modeled for years with Max, but I’ve always used Vray. I’m now playing around with Mental Ray (and iRay).

Thanks in advance for any assistance!
