You can purchase the addon here: https://gum.co/cryptomatte-tools. With Cryptomatte Tools addon there is no need to manually pick objects in Compositor and it is possible to pick objects or materials even if they are not visible in current frame. The addon also keeps track of objects and materials in Cryptomatte nodes, and if you change object/material name, it will automatically update the Cryptomatte ID in all Cryptomatte nodes where it is used. It also offers automatic update of Render Result even if the Compositor is not open when adding or removing objects/materials from the active Cryptomatte node. And it is possible to append all objects from the active Cryptomatte node to selection (if selection is empty, it is a quick and easy way to see what objects are chosen in the Cryptomatte node). If you are looking to automate things, Cryptomatte Tools implements Python API to get Cryptomatte IDs, add them to Cryptomatte nodes and do many other useful things. This video does not demonstrate Python API, if you are interested to learn more, please read the documentation: http://Dragon.Studio/addon/cryptomatte_tools/doc 00:00 How to install Cryptomatte Tools addon 00:24 Brief overview of workflow without Cryptomatte Tools 01:09 How to add objects to the Cryptomatte node 01:34 What is Cryptomatte ID and its automatic update (when objects or materials are renamed) 02:07 How to select active Cryptomatte node 02:42 Appending to selected objects from Cryptomatte node 03:57 Practical example of Cryptomatte Tools usage 08:11 Automatic update of Render Result even if Compositor is not open
