This script is if you want to create a extra tex render element but only want to apply it to specific objects. This will create a extra tex, let you apply a texture to it, and set it up so it only applies the extra tex to the selected objects.
To Run: Just select the objects you want to apply the extra tex to and run the script. If you want to create a quick multi matte choose Matte. If you want to apply a file texture choose Custom File. If you want to apply a Maya texture choose Other Texture and it will set everything up and you just have to attach the texture.
#Custom Extra Tex version 1.0.0
#For Maya. Tested in version 2014 with VRay 2.4

#This script is if you want to create a extra tex render element but
#only want to apply it to specific objects. This will create a extra tex,
#let you apply a texture to it, and set it up so it only applies the extra
#tex to selected objects.
############################
#TO USE:
# 1. Select objects you want to apply the extra tex to
# 2. Run Script
# 3. Name your Extra Tex
# 4. Choose a type. Matte is for a Matte, Custom File lets you choose a file to apply
# Other is if you want to apply a maya texture it sets up the extra tex so you just have to link the maya texture node
