AutoMultiMatte

Is their any update for vray next ?

thanks for your effort..

I found a way to work with vray Next by removing this part of the script

if (findString (renderers.current as string) "1_") != undefined then
(
messageBox "AutoMultiMatte script works only with VRay 2.x!" title:"Wrong VRay Version"
return()
)

Thank you very much! :D

Hey I hacked this to work with Corona. Sergo, I love your script, perhaps you can take a look at my attempt and make an 'official' version of the Corona one?

Cheers!

Hi Sergo,

I have used this script for many years and it's super helpful.
Now we have switched to Corona and I can't use it anymore.

I'd appreciate if you could tell me if you plan to make the Corona version.

If so I'll cry for joy like a little child.

Please let me know if I can do anything on my side to encourage you to go on this quest.

Best!!

Hi,

I'm not familiar with Corona. Which render element do you think is the replacement for MultliMatte? CMasking_ID or CMask_Mask?

Thanks,
Sergo.

Hi Sergo,

The replacement for MultiMatte is CMasking_Maks. There is an option to create Monocromatic mask or RGB masks.

Looking forward to test the Corona AutoMultiMatte!

If you have any questions please write me.

Best Regards,
George

Sorry I missed your question.
Looking forward to your progress!! Thanks Sergo!!!!!

Hey Sergo.

Love this script however I'm having an issue when saving out passes.
Almost every time I use the script I'll get an error with one of the passes saying "Sorry can't write the output bitmap"

This will only happen with one of the passes but causes my render to restart when I sent it to Backburner.

Any idea why this is happening? I've attached the error.

I'm using Max 2014, vray 2.4.

Thanks mate

Hi!
I've updated this script to 0.8. It has some improvements that I did while ago (for that reason I don't remember exactly what did I improve).
Could you check your case with that version and I'll try to help to fix it.

P.S. Your error attachment is not visible!

Was this updated for Vray 3.0 ??

Corona Renderer version? :DDD

fn myVrayVersion = 
(
	str = renderers.current as string
	char =trimleft str ":V_Ray_Adv_"
	aa= for i=1 to 7 collect char[i]
	version=""
	for j in aa where j!="_" do version+=j
	version as integer -- or as string
)

myVrayVersion()

Or just put comment tags around that whole block, like this:

/*	if (findString (renderers.current as string) "2_") == undefined then
(
messageBox "AutoMultiMatte script works only with VRay 2.x!" title:"Wrong VRay Version"
return()
) */

save, restart max -> profit.

Awesome time saving script!!! I got really used to using it and then got really sad when I upgraded Vray to 3.0 and discovered this script doesn't support it!

Please update to work with Vray 3.0 :D

Open the script and edit the line near the bottom that says (renderers.current as string) "2_") Just change "2_" to "3_"

I got vray 3.0 now, so I'll update this script soon.

great script, very handy, thanks a lot for sharing !!! w7 3ds max 2012 x64

Could you provide more information about how exactly script behaves under 3ds max 2009? Error messages, dialog boxes, etc.

when i add this script it shows in customize track but when i add it to make new button it does'nt appear,it shows blank though i have named it to automultimatte as i did in max2012.Bottom line is the button that i created is blank so it does'nt work.

hi,Sergo i m aditya.I hav used your script on max 2012 64bit it is too great but unfortunately i m trying to use on 2009 64bit but it does not work so please can u provide me this script for my 2009 max 64bit.Please.
And yaa thank you for script...
bye for now..

I'll try but I think in that case different render elements overwrite one another.

Is it possible to add an option to not use material names at all, and just use numbers maybe?
Problem being that sometimes I end up with names that are really really long, and I've found problems sending things to render if some of the matte names are too long.
Im not very organised with material naming anyway!

add an option so that only one ID is assigned per element, you know the AAliasing spoils the mattes of bees, trees, whales the snails.

Choosing just one channel (r,g or b) doesn't force to use one ID per channel?

Quite often, we need mattes after a render has been created. Would it be possible to add some sort of temporary material overide, yet retain the multimatte information so that we can render out all the mattes quickly (without GI etc)?

Agree with you, we are making mattes after the render almost all the time :) I just turn off GI and lighting to render mattes quickly.

It is possible to override materials but how to deal with transparent materials?

great script, very useful. is it possible to add the option to set all ID's to 0 again?

thanks

Here's a version with reset button :)
More changes yet to come!
