Auto Material ID

[ValeroStudio]

Would love to see Vr4SU automatically generate unique material IDs for each material when it is created. I use Material ID all the time and I always find it a pain to setup each one by one. Maxwell does this automatically as well as Object Id. I know there are scripts for MAX that do this as well. I thinks its an incredibly useful feature to have.

is this something that is based on the diffuse rgb color? That would indeed be very useful.

In Maxwell I think it just assigns it randomly probably in some predetermined way as to not have the same color applied to 2 different materials. Same for the MAX script. It's incredibly useful. If you aren't using it now, you really need to. Its just that to use it now if you have manually set the color.

I use material ID all the time, I couldn't imagine post-pro without it. I usually only have 3 or 4 materials I assign, but automatically having them would be very nice. Sometimes I forget to assign an ID and I have to wait till my next render to set it.

This is a super good idea
