Object ID Organizer is similar to my previous Material ID Organizer.

It helps to quickly organize / inspect Object IDs in the scene and create MultiMatteElelemnts or Corona CMultiMatte.

- Sort object list by Name, ID, Class or Layer
- Multiselect and change ID
- Reset all MatID to 0 (select all -> press 0 button)
- Select on list by ID (switch "change" -> "select" or "add to select")
- Select and Auto-select by scene objects
- Filter and Auto-filterby scene objects (it will show only selected scene objects)
- And otherway - select scene objects by selected list items
- Add / Delete MuliMatteElements or Corona CMultiMatte (depends of current renderrer)
- Buttons 0 to 149 (just scroll down)
- 2 Highlight Button colors:
    - Blue - shows used Object ID
    - Red - shows selected items

______________________________________________________________________________________________

Columns:
- ID - G-Buffer Object ID - 0,1,2,3,4,5,....... (buttons up to 149 - let me know if you need more)
- Name
- Class
- Layer

______________________________________________________________________________________________

How to Use:
- It's a script only so simply drag and drop to 3ds max.

Multimatte naming

trick · 2018-07-05

Hi,

Any indication on when it will be possible to name multimattes either automatically based on object/materialname or manually, as asked some time ago?

Thanks

re: Multimatte naming

pixamoon · 2018-07-05

Hi, yes, next days. I'm working on txt log file to print scene IDs with obj/mat names. With this function I can add names to multimate elements too.

Please send me your email to pixamoon@gmail.com
I can send you test version with object names.

Best,
Pixamoon

Re: Xrefs

pixamoon · 2018-02-07

Yes, you right,

Will add that in new updates,

Thanks,

Great Script, that's the only thing is missing....... thanks

Hi,

Sorry, just checked the newest Full version of Object ID Organizer v1.12

It recognizes IDs from XRefs objects, shows them also on the list and on buttons. And alos creates MultimattElements for them.

Script can change ID for them in the scene but... it can't only change them in XRef file.

I can add possibility to lock those IDs on XRefs objects (if needed).

Best,
Pixamoon


Its good, but doesnt work with xref workflow.

borowiak · 2018-01-29

Your script is great, but doesnt work with xref files. If you set up ID's inside xref file, the script wont see them in a main scene file - you cant automaticly create render elements with ID's coming from xref.

Do you see possibility of fixing that, or creating some other solution to work with xref files?

auto object ID on a layer?

bobpanil · 2017-02-24

can this script automatically assign a specific object ID to all objects in a layer?:
1. Add object to a specific layer = Object ID ##.
2. Remove object to layer 0 = Object ID 0.
3. Move object to other layer - inherit specific Object ID ##.

Can it be done?

Re: auto object ID on a layer

pixamoon · 2017-03-01

Hi Bobpanil,

Sure I can add that too. But it can slow down scene. Let's try it.

Definitely I can add a button to organize object IDs per layer or prefix in name.

Cheers,
Pixamoon

Perfect time saver

arch3d · 2017-02-14

Thanks for script:)

trick · 2017-02-11

Great script, as is your mat-id organizer.

If you can make make multimatte elements with the same name as the object/material I buy both scripts instantly. As it is now it's hard to recognize mask in PS.

Thanks!!

pixamoon · 2017-02-11

Thanks !

Do you mean to create separate multimat elements for each id, instead RGB for 3 IDs?
+ auto renames them form object / material ( or first obj/mat if multiple have same id) ?
I can do it in next version, no prob.

:)

trick · 2017-02-11

Exactly what I mean. Would help a lot:)
Thanks!

pixamoon · 2017-02-12

No prob, will add this option it in next version

Cheers,
