In Cycle render engine you have an option to disable direct visibility of the objects to the camera. Open _Object Data tab_ and in _Ray Visiility_ section disable this option on all the objects that you want to be invisible in render. ![enter image description here][2] You can do the same with the background in _World_ tab. ![enter image description here][1] [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/3JGBi.png [2]: https://i.sstatic.net/aWk0N.png
