Object Channels

Is there a way to define a large number of objects to each have an individual Object Channel (for G-Buffer extraction)? It doesn't really matter which object is assigned to which Channel ... I just want them all to be different (and with a large number of objects I don't want to set up a Channel for each object myself!)

thanks again!


1. Select your objects.
2. Evaluate in the Listener or a New Script:

for i = 1 to selection.count do selection[i].gBufferChannel = i

This will assign a unique GBuffer ID to the selected objects, supporting up to 65535 objects.
(GBuffer cannot be a number larger than 64K so in the unlikely event of more objects, the last ones will all have the same 65535 ID).

thanks bobo...best way to learn scripting...get bobo to help out on a forum ;)


on a similar note why dont you come out with a book or something teaching c/c++ in a max/maya related way...i'm sure many would buy it(maya because it's syntax is c related to the t !!!).
