Version:
0.7
Release Date:
15 July 2011
Since the version 2.0 VRay renderer's VrayMaterial contains new option - "Effect ID" - for assigning more than 16 Effects ID-s.
This script utilizes this new property and creates MultiMatte render elements for the all or for the selected objects' Vray materials and assigns proper values to their Effects ID property.
Current version of the script works ( finds VrayMaterials within these materials, in other words ) with composite materials listed below:
- Multimaterial
- Blend
- VRayBlendMtl
- VRay2SidedMtl
- VRayOverrideMtl
- Shellac
- TopBottom
- Shell Material
Some works well some does not, but it's mostly of material restrictions. Multimaterial and TopBottom materials work as expected.
Vray composite materials don't work as expected and if someone knows how to show that materials in Effects Channel please let me know.
Installation:
As usual - run downloaded script with Maxscript -> Run Script command from any folder on your hard drive. Resulting command 'AutoMultiMatte' will be availlable in 'Sergo Pogosyan' category.
Usage:
Run script, select the material scope (selected or whole scene) and hit "Create Elements". Render.
In some cases set the starting number of Effect ID-s for selected materials and name prefix for the autogenerated render elements. This info will be stored in INI file.
