Invisible Walls Tip
Here is a tip for interior architecture renderings.
The problem with positioning cameras in rooms is that they always seem to be to small and you bump into walls.
Here is a simple trick to make walls seem invisible.
Follow up:
Well here it is, set your textures for the room to be mapped either at the "back" side or at the "front" side.
I made a completely transparent texture with no specular or other channels on. Them mapped it to the "front" side of the room (outside) And another texture (orange) for the "back" side (interior).
I added a compositing tag to avoid strange shadows from distant lights occurring inside the room.
Voila.

Just remember to check "best" under anti-alising because the transparency leads to a stepped result.
