Material ID Layers

Post by msa »

For each render I always assign different colours to each material on the ID layers panel for post processing selection. After saving a .cfg to re-use through different scenes when I re-load the .cfg, ticking 'only the material settings' the assigned layers often resort to default black and I have to manually start altering each material?

Dare I inquire about V5 whilst I'm on?

Still awesome software.

The latest version after checking for updates. Just uploaded a SU model and added .cfg ticking add materials. The material ID layers were there for two materials and reverted to default black for the others?

I'm not really following what you mean. Hoe many materials should have the Color ID and how many turned black out of them? Are you sure you saved the settings too?

My latest SU model was taken into Raylectron and Material ID layers assigned to 5 materials I wanted to post process later in PS. I saved the set up as a .cfg file and closed it. Re-worked my SU model then re-opened it, File>Load settings from>highlighted my .cfg file, checked 'load only the material settings.

From the 5 previously assigned Material ID's 2 had remembered their new layer colours and 3 had defaulted to black. This always happens...some remember but most forget.
