Maybe it's just the disorganised projects that keep getting dropped on my poor head, but this'd be super handy for dealing with maybe dozens of MultiMatte Render Elements in a scene and would give near instant feedback to check your passes instead of needing a render.
Something like:
- Build a list of Render Elements in the scene
- Back up a Scene State of the current materials setup
- Build a list of MultiMattes, select one from a dropdown
- Check if it's using MatIDs or ObjIDs
- Apply an unshaded black material to everything
- Select R channel objects by ID, apply a red material
- Same for G and B...
- Viewport now previews what the matte output will be for that pass
- Modify IDs as necessary, update viewport to see results
- Restore original Scene State to return to where we started
Probably a much more elegant way of doing this, but that's about the extent my pseudocode. I've had a go at bodging something together with bits of other scripts, but pretty quickly ran into a wall. Ooft.
Cheers!
