I'm nearly sure the answer to this question is a big NO but anyway:

Is it possible to have an object which is transparent for the whole scene but
opaque for another single object. The idea is to reach the effect (in an
animation) of objects dissappearing behind apparently non-existing objects.

So my first guess is to define an object this way:

object{target}
object{<x,y,z> does not interact with nothing but with object{target} }

or

object{target}
object{<x,y,z> completly transparent but for object{target} }

I know it sounds stupid but DON'T SHOOT ME I'M ONLY THE PIANO PLAYER

thanks in advance
