Is it possible to make a Cycles material/PBR that doesn't cast shadows?

For fake volumetrics here is an approach

Until we support volumetric shaders you can pretty easily simulate them with actual geometry though. Here a very quick setup: [image] volumetric_cheat.3dm (581.6 KB) With some extra work on the material you can bring some extra depth to the effect, like maybe with a gradient on the alpha channel.
