Render Passes and State Sets Tool
***JUST UPDATED TO ADD THE OPTION TO STORE THE PASSES AS STATE SETS***
A tool to render or store the following passes as State Sets:
- Matte
- Shadows and Reflections
- Shadows
- Reflections
- Z Depth
- Fast Skin Subsurface Scattering
- Ambient Occlusion
- Normals
It operates using scene states and object properties. So on some passes you add objects to an array and others you will need to set up your object properties the way you would if you where normally trying to get a shadow pass or reflection pass.
It also automates folder and naming of the selected passes. So for instance a matte pass will render to the selected directory but the script will add a folder called Matte and add _Matte to the file name.The attached word document explains in more detail how to use the script.
It installs as a macroscript in the mikes script category.
--01.19.12 fixed the download link.
--01.10.12 fixed a bug where the 32 bit or 64 bit submission of jobs was being
ignored in MAX 2012.
--04.10.12 repaired the download link.
--08.26.14 Added functionality to store passes to state sets
--10.17.14 Now available as a download from the Autodesk exchange store. Updated the download link.
--03.20.15 Fixed a bug causing the SSS states to store incorrectly.

Octane Render Engine request
Amazing!!!
That would be an amazing tool for Octane Render.

There is nothing like that and a lot of people has been requested to the developer.

I'm not sure if displacement
I'm not sure if displacement in the material would work well with this method. It would be better to use the displace modifier and then use the fast sss or fast sss+ after I add it. I'm going to see if I can add some more options to the sss pass to get the Overall Diffuse coloration and all the Specular passes.

Give us more!
Hi,
i´m currently struggling with several passes problems, one of them being z-depth and hair&fur.
I have to switch hair&fur to geometry for the pass to work. Doing that with quick passes script renders one frame in 25 minutes, with your script its done in 4 Minutes.
So yes, great script!
I´d love an implementation of the Fast sss+ Shader aswell!
And by the way: Is it possible to see the render progress window during rendering somehow?
I believe that would all be
I believe that would all be possible. I would just need to modify the Current SSS pass and split it up some more. I might look in to it if I get the time. I'm currently working on a custom pass and an x-ray pass that I want to add. It would also be nice if you could save your settings to file so that you need to set them up again every time you open the script. But I don't know how much more I will do on this as the new state sets in max could eventually replace this script.

Very good script!!!
Hi,
I tested the SSS capabilities of your script yesterday and I think it works very efficiently.
I have some sugestions:
1- It would be great if it worked with the SSS Fast Skin + Displacement material.
2- It would be good if it rendered the Overall Diffuse Coloration too.
3- Would it be possible to split the Specular pass into three different passes (the result of the first specular, the result of the second specular and the result of the reflections)?
Finally, i want to report that, after I executed the script as instructed in the word file, the item passes did not appear at the bottom of my rendering menu. But I dragged the item to one of my toobars and it worked wonderfully.
Thank you very much!
yeeeesss!!! you are
yeeeesss!!!
you are right.

thanks for your answer :)
I deleted the cookies but nothing has changed.
In your site, the only active links are on the menù at the top right.
The mouse pointer passes over all the links of the rest of the page as if it were a image-file.
buttons and fields are frozen (downloading, video, email, message...).
However, if I'm the only one having this problem, maybe depends on my PC.
I thank you anyway for the suggestions, no problem.
