These same options are available both in Studio and on the rest 3D platforms. The location of these options in your 3D platform may vary and depends depending on each 3D platform interface arrangement.
Hidden from Camera
This option allow you to hide an object not to appear in the final image, but its presence affects all the objects around it (shadows, reflections, global illumination).
This object (left) disappears when it is hidden from camera (right), but its presence continues affecting the whole scene
...
This option hides your object to be seen in the reflective and transparent objects.
This object (left) is visible in the reflective and through the transparent objects. Instead, you can use this option to avoid an object appearing in the reflections and refractions of the surrounding objects (right)
Hidden from Global Illumination
This option allows you to skip this option from the Global Illumination calculations. This way, you can avoid an object to cast shadows and affect other objects with its color bleeding.
Enabling this option (right) you can force an object not to cast shadows nor affect other objects with its color bleeding
Hidden to Z-clip Planes
Z-clips Planes define near and far distance boundaries outside of which the objects will not be considered by the render calculations. Please see the Z-clip planes page for more details.
This option is useful when you want to clip your scene with a near and far plane to avoid unnecessary calculations, except for certain particular objects that you do not want to be affected by the Z-Clip planes.
