Material/Object ID Manage (EffectsChannel)

Ideal tool for users looking to enhance post-production workflow and improve efficiency in 3ds Max.
Key Features:

• Manage Materials and Object IDs: Simplifies the process of assigning IDs to materials and objects to manage render elements
• Automate Render Elements Creation: Streamlines the creation of essential render elements for different render engines.
  Automates generate MultiMatteElements for V-Ray, CMasking_Mask elements for Corona Renderer and MatteRenderElements for Mental Ray.
• Wirecolor Assignment: Automatically assigns wirecolors to objects for access in post-production
• Render Mask for Selected Nodes: Quickly render masks for selected objects in V-Ray using the “Render Mask for Selected nodes” feature

See a tutorial “A Short Look at a 3DsMax to Fusion Post Workflow” from Kevin Shane on Cgtuts+.

For rendering masks for selected objects use the rollout “Render Mask for Selected nodes” – this feature currently available only for V-Ray

Batch Max Files
Utility to review and edit 3ds max files. Useful to create previews, review files before posting on 3D stock and., etc. Just add a directory with 3ds max files and open them one by one to check.
The transition between files is carried out either by double-clicking a file name or using an arrow on the side list.
The toll supports post-open scripts.
Use the “Post-Open script” button to add a script that will be applied for each opened file. To disable using the script just remove it from the list or unselect it. You can change the models manually or apply post-open scripts in batch mode.
Use the global boolean variable processFilesBatch to determine if the file is processed in batch mode. For example, you can use this variable to save files after changing in batch mode.
Tool shipped with 2 scripts to demonstrate the capabilities to mass processing scenes using post-open scripts – ConvertMaterials and Batch Render.
