I need to make this blue vectors appears blue inside this orange material.

In other words, how I can "preserve" material color from color interferences of another objects?

I'm using cycles render.

Thank you very much. enter image description here

I made the steps proposed and achieved this result:

Edit:

My bad, your cube is actually opaque, which was hard to guess from the pictures, I don't know if it's feasible with the Light Path node (?) so, as Thedigitalzorn said, the solution is probably to use the Compositor.

Another simple trick would be to launch a render of the arrow only, in the Properties panel > Render > Film, enable Transparent to make sure that the video has a transparent background. Then render the cube and the setup. At last, stack the 2 sequences in the Video Sequencer.

Old answer:

Give your arrow an Emission node instead of a Diffuse. And if you don't want it to emit any light, deactivate its Diffuse option in the Properties panel > Object > Visibility.

  • $\begingroup$ Thank you. But it's works because this cube is not color, correct? I followed this same steps and the result is different. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ hard to understand what happes, do you mean you want the object to always be seen through any object? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ it was hard to understand that your box was actually half opaque, so it's normal that any object inside will appear colored... like thedigitalzorn says, I think you'll have to fix that through the Compositor editor, I don't know enough about it though $\endgroup$

If the arrow has a solid color, you could use a cryptomatte to isolate the silhouette and give it a color using the compositing nodes.

  • $\begingroup$ Thank you for your answer. I didn't find cryptomatte in node editor. I'm using blender 2.8. $\endgroup$
