I am trying to figure out how to use a transparent object to mask out other objects. Other people have asked similar questions, so here's the links to the others I found:

Create invisibility cloak (alpha mask material)

Invisible object that hides other objects (as a mask)

But I can't figure out how to do it in 3.0 with Eevee, hence the fresh question.

I would appreciate screenshots with an answer because I'm very visual! Thank you.

    What did you try and were you failed? Also your screen case would be helpfull ... provided links can hide one object or all behinde ... – vklidu Jan 31 '22 at 08:58
  • @vklidu I tried a few things to get the result I wanted (combinations of transparency, backface culling, render layers of various setups) but either way I have an answer now, a holdout node in a material :) – SmallFlameBoi Feb 01 '22 at 18:29

Several options here:

  1. Check holdout option in object settings:

  1. Use a holdout shader:

  1. Turn on holdout toddles in outliner:

and enable it for specific collections:
