3DS Max - V Ray - VRayRenderID + Photoshop

-1 vote

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.

3DS Max - V Ray - VrayCryptomatte - Render Element

0 votes

As you know, we can perform many postproduction operations inside the V-Ray Frame Buffer window, but what if we like to apply these adjustments on certain objects inside the Frame Buffer, and not on all the image.
VrayCryptomatter render elements will help us mask certain objects directly inside the VFB by picking with the mouse. Also, when we add the Vraycryptomatte in the Render Elements tab, we can decide what criteria we want to use for picking, we have options like: by individual objects, by material name, by layer, by node's user property.

Automated randomly generated number decals. Script + procedural material.

0 votes

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.
