Color Mask Manager is a powerful yet simple tool for SketchUp users looking to generate and remove color masks from materials within their models. Color masks are commonly used in rendering workflows to easily distinguish and adjust different material zones in post-processing software.
With Color Mask Manager, you can quickly create distinct color overlays for materials throughout your model, making rendering adjustments more manageable. The plugin allows you to apply color masks either globally across all materials in your model or limit the action to selected parts of the geometry.
Be careful, performing the operation may take quite a lot of time with a large file and a significant amount of materials!
Key Features:
- Generate Color Masks: Automatically apply a unique color overlay to all materials or selected ones, allowing for easy identification during rendering.
- Remove Color Masks: Quickly restore all materials to their original state once the masking is no longer needed.
- Apply to Selection Only: Use the checkbox to limit color masking to the selected entities, giving you more control over where masks are applied.
- Supports Nested Groups and Components: The plugin processes materials applied directly to faces, as well as materials assigned to groups and components, including those nested inside other entities.
- Undo and Redo: All operations are grouped as a single action, ensuring you can undo or redo the mask generation or removal easily using SketchUp’s undo system.
How It Works:
- Access the plugin from Tools > AS_PLUGINS > Color Mask Manager or use the toolbar button.
- In the dialog, choose whether to apply the color mask to the entire model or just the selected entities.
- Generate masks with a single click and remove them when no longer needed.
- Whether you’re a rendering professional or a SketchUp enthusiast, Color Mask Manager helps you efficiently organize and manage materials during rendering workflows.
