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 V-Ray 6, the Chaos group decided to remove the V-Ray quad menu options, where you had many features. To find them, now you have to use the V-Ray menu on the main menu toolbar. But, if you like to have these options back again in your quad menu, this tutorial is for you.

Note: The solution that you'll find in the video I made 6 years ago, doesn't work anymore, I'm talking about this one: https://youtu.be/_TjxBNJaW_w

It's just a small tip :

We often use the standard "relax tool" or "relax modifier"  that always shrinks the objects...

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.
