Is is possible to exclude materials from renders when using override material exclude ?

eg:

Scene has 10 materials, plus one material override, I want to tell material override not to include material 7 (glass) when I render.
That would save me running around the scene detaching all the glass, adding and re-adding it to the selection sets and override exclude.

Basically a quick replacement for the selection set , override material method that currently only works with geometry.

Hi, I was hoping someone could wright a pre-render maxscript that would clear all the channel data from the vray frame buffer before the start of a new render.

3ds max 2014 sp4
vray 3.00

Thank you!

Hi guys,
i always wanted a script that i - in my totally scripting ignorance - think can be done easily. I need to select objetcs in a layer that is not necessarily the current one. Wich means, the script must store the current layer, then make the selected object´s layer current, then select all the objects in the new current layer and then set the stored layer back to current. Is it hard to script this? any good soul could do that? :)
so here´s my suggestion for a new script, thanks for your attention!
cheers,

Hello,

I'm having some issues with dynamic textures with a 3D engine so I need to be able to set the polygon number for each face. Not the mat ID. I'm talking about the number that gets assigned by max and is displayed as text in the selection rollout in the Edit Poly modifier. So when you select a face/polygon, this text dynamically changes to tell you that you have Polygon 5 Selected or in the case of multiple faces, it says 2 polygons Selected.
