You should really look up section planes. They can cut off literally everything that's not visible in the viewport, I started using them recently and they really improved my render times and lighting indoor scenes with HDRis great amount. Only thing to be careful about is shadows cause they cut off even geometry which would cast them.So I wanted to share a rendering tip I found out, maybe you all already know about this, and if so great! If not then here is what I recently learned.
When rendering a scene, a room for example and let's say you have a living room, with 2 couches, a chair a rug and a bookshelf with books and a lamp
So if you turn off any object in your scene that is not directly in your viewport it will dramatically speed up your render.
Because Iray calculates everything in your scene even the stuff that is not being rendered. So when you turn off the stuff in the scene that is not in the viewport, iray does not calculate it.
This even helps when rendering people. if you turn off the different parts of the limbs that are not being rendered it can help a huge amount
Anyway, just thought I would pose this.
Thanks will look them up.You should really look up section planes.

Here's example. Indoor scene with no windows and no added lights except the HDRi.Thanks will look them up.
love this image. definitely looking forward to going to "Bed" lol.
What product do you use? Is it "Paper Tiger’s Precision HDRI Lighting"?I'm using paper tiger's x-ray camera preset, just have it parented to my own camera. When I move the camera, planes move with it and cut off everything not in the view port, so I don't have to hide them myself, makes the work much easier. Also it cuts off just part of the object that is not in the viewport and leaves the rest.
Think he has the camera preset in precision and ideal pack but I'm not sure. They are the same either way.What product do you use? Is it "Paper Tiger’s Precision HDRI Lighting"?
