coronaQuickMask
Render super fast mask from selection.

GitHub Repository

How to run
Download coronaQuickmask.mcr and copy to usermacros folder (c:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2014 - 64bit\ENU\usermacros)
Drag and drop to viewport should work too.
In Customize - Customize User Interface select Quads - category corona and drag "Render quick mask from selection" to the right window. You should have Render quick mask from selection on right-click quad menu.

How it works
It uses Render only elements function from corona (Actions rollout) nad CMasking_mask element. Adds Element - store objects GBuf IDs - renders - shows output - reverts GBuf IDs changes. Output is antialiased with 3 corona passes (other settings untouched).

Updates
01/04/2014 render dialog closing during render (setting no. of passes correctly)
01/04/2014 itoo forest pack support

I tried and can't get it to work on 3ds Max 2012. It won't load at all.

Any suggestions ?

Is there a new version of this? I tried editing it myself, but "renderElements" has been removed and I don't know how to check "render only masks" via maxscript.

I did it again. Fixed it for Corona 1.6
Script isn't my, so I just made it work despite the beauty of the code :)

Unfortunately maxscript can't disable autosave render elements output files, so your mask will be always saved...somewhere

Rar is in message attachment
