Keeping group instances visible while hiding originals After creating several group instances, I've found that the original objects I used in their creation will show up during a render.

I thought I could fix this by selecting the original objects, going to the Object context, and under Visibility, deselect Show in Renders. However, while this does stop the object from being rendered, it also stops every other grouped object of its kind from being rendered as well.

How can I hide these original objects, while keeping their group instances visible?

there's actually a pretty simple workaround for this. All you need to do is put your collection into a collection, and make the highest collection non-rendered while keeping the baseline set to renderable
