Quick Matte Pro

Quick Matte Pro is a professional Cinema 4D matting and object buffer plugin designed to make creating mattes fast, simple, and reliable. With a single click, you can generate clean mattes for objects, materials, or textures without re-rendering your scene or manually setting up object buffers.

Built for motion designers, compositors, and 3D artists, Quick Matte Pro eliminates the tedious setup traditionally required for mattes and multipass workflows in Cinema 4D.

Matte Creation Made Fast and Simple

Quick Matte Pro is focused on doing one thing extremely well: getting you clean mattes as quickly as possible. As soon as you set your first matte, the plugin becomes active and switches the viewport to show only matted objects.

From there, simply select objects, materials, or texture tags and click Add To Matte. No complex render settings, no buffer management, and no re-rendering required.

Isolate Objects With Ease

Object matting in Cinema 4D often requires careful buffer setup and re-rendering. Quick Matte Pro replaces that entire process with a simple selection-based workflow.

Select the objects you want to isolate and add them to the matte instantly. The result is a clean, predictable matte that is ready for compositing.

TEXTURES WITH ALPHAS

Quick Matte Pro also allows you to matte individual texture tags. If a texture tag uses a material with an alpha channel, Quick Matte Pro automatically respects that alpha when generating the matte.

This makes it ideal for isolating layered materials, decals, or complex surface setups where traditional object buffers fall short.

OBJECT BUFFER MANAGER

Managing object buffers manually can be slow and error-prone. Quick Matte Pro includes an Object Buffer Manager that allows you to add objects to your multipass render settings instantly.

The workflow mirrors Quick Matting itself: select your objects and press a button. All required object buffers are added automatically to the Render Settings multipass list.
