Itoo forest

Thank you for this so usefull script.
I try to use it with itoo forest but it doesn't work.
For example, if i have a forest with a multimaterial object randomize, it only renders the first ID on each plane.
Is it normal?

Question

I did a test for the light/shadow mask, but it work only with "Vray shadowmap" ad not with the standart "Vrayshadow", i don't use vrayshadowmap so this is my question : why choosing this shadow mode instead of the standart one ?

Sorry to bump myself, but the

Sorry to bump myself, but the "keep opacity" is still broken using Mental Ray renderer.
I looked at the code : in the get_all_opacity_map function you only look at the "opacity" string to retrieve opacity map, but in Arch and Design material it is cutout_map.

Also :
Is it possible to have "force 2 side" as an option.
I explain : If you create a mask for a tree as an example, single faced leaves are transparent depending of the facing normals which result in an incomplete mask.

And it would be wonderful if the shadow Mask option worked with Mental Ray renderer.

Thanks for this great script
