Material ID color Randomizer

V-Ray V-Ray for Cinema 4D Requests
1

Hi Chaos support team,

it would be great to have a material id color randomizer as a menu item / script to get randomized colors in the Material ID Pass after rendering.

Cause if you have hundreds of materials, it’s hard to change the color for each separate. And the most times, you just forget to change the color when creating the material…

Would be great!
Thx for all!
Alex

Hello @alexander_tschopoff ,

Currently, there is no such option available in V-Ray 5 and the material ID colors need to be added manually. We already have added a feature request for this (VC4D-831) and will let you know when we have more information. Thank you.

Hi Aleksander,
you can get a similar result by using the cryptomatte RE, using this free plugin: Exr-IO 2.00 | Exr-IO free Photoshop OpenEXR plug-in you will be able to get masks from cryptomatte in PS. It’s not the same as the material ID but it may work depending on your needs.
