In this tutorial, we will learn about the VRayRenderID render element, where you can create a separate file for the rendered image, and this file will contain a distinct matte color for each object in the scene. This is useful when doing a post-production in software like Photoshop, for example, because you can isolate every single object, and work on it separately.

This post details how I set up an automated decal numbering system. A random number is assigned to a dummy object that matches a name convention and any decal objects attached to that dummy assume the same ID. The ID can be used for material assignment purposes, in this case it is to drive a sprite sheet that renders that number to a material.

At a minimum the script should be a good jump point for automating parts of procedural artwork.

In this tutorial, we will see how, when we're working on a single maximized viewport, we can quickly see the content of the other viewports, and switch to the one we want. This provides visual feedback, in case we forgot the name of the viewport we want to work in.
