The RS ID Manager panel with both lists, duplicate Object and Material IDs tinted in matching colours, and the footer reading 2 objects, 2 RS tags and 2 materials selected

RS ID Manager

Every Redshift Object ID and Material ID in your scene, in one panel. Set them, spot duplicates and build puzzle mattes without opening a single tag or node graph.

Every ID at a glance

Two lists, one for Object IDs and one for Material IDs, read straight from the scene. Node and legacy Xpresso Redshift materials both appear.

Set IDs on your selection

Select objects or materials anywhere in Cinema 4D, type an ID and click Set. Objects without an RS Object tag get one. Give several items one shared ID, or a unique ID each.

Duplicates stand out

Rows that share an ID share a colour. Colour rows by layer instead, sort by ID, or group them by layer.

Puzzle mattes in one click

Pack every ID into Redshift Puzzle Matte AOVs, three to an AOV, with your own naming and optional per-AOV EXR output. Update them when the IDs change.

  1. Getting started — install, licence and your first IDs.
  2. The panel — a tour of every part of it.
  3. Selection — how the panel follows the Object and Material Managers.

RS ID Manager runs in Cinema 4D 2024 to 2027 with Redshift, on Windows and Apple Silicon Macs.
