[Bf-funboard] ALT+B possible for cycles rendering?

Dunno if it's the best way; but I think this does what you're asking for:
http://www.pasteall.org/blend/35679

Or you could just use the boolean modifier (perhaps even parenting the box
you're gonna be subtracting/intersecting with, to the camera), remembering
to move the box to another layer or set it's material to fully transparent
or whatever.



I'm not sure which would be more beneficial though, both in terms of
performance, as well as how it looks.
