Is it possible to hide the domain object for a smoke simulation in an openGL quick render without hiding the smoke?
The domain can be distracting in preview renders even when rendered as a wireframe.
Toggling the visibility of the domain hides the smoke as well.

Is this possible?

  • $\begingroup$ @Fweeb Nope. Only Render only hides things like the 3D cursor, the grid floor, etc. It does not seem to hide actual geometry. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Fweeb Ah, I know why I was confused now.. enabling Adaptive Domain makes the domain visible again. Is there a way to hide the domain with Adaptive domain enabled? (or maybe this is a bug?) $\endgroup$

If your domain's Maximum Draw Type is set to Wire (Object Properties > Display panel), you can set the 3D View's display to Only Render (Properties region [N] > Display panel) and the domain should be hidden from view.
