Hey Gavyn,
like most of your tools this one is insanely useful!! I'm running on one problem tho. It seems that it is not collecting all matID's properly. Could that be related by me using multiSubMaterials? Could you have the tool also checking in the subMaterial level?
Additionally it would be nice to be able to control the prefix of the created obj/mat Id aovs. Similar to what you have in your creatLightSelectByLayerName tool.
Thanks
This is indeed very
This is indeed very technical. I need to Analyze my scene and collect all unique Object IDs and Material ID.
