How to Create Material ID Passes Using Nodes in C4D

Jonas Pilz shows how to create Material ID passes in C4D S22.

Most will know that you can render an object buffer by adding a compositing tag, setting an ID, and adding it to the multi passes. But what if you want to make a buffer for a specific material? That’s where Material ID passes come in.
