Started without AA but find out that on small areas if the color image have AA selecting with tolerance [of about 15] in PP gives a better results.

I use this in vray and max and now in vray and blender.

In my archviz internship we used the "Object Color AOV" in V-Ray in all projects, which is like anti-aliased Material ID.
The Photoshop color picker works surprisingly well with anti-aliased color masks, it produces very good selections without hard edges.

...so for now, material id can be used somehow for this purpose, but for id -1 I can’t get the random value.

I added the support for new MATERIAL_ID_COLOR AOV:
material_id_color.jpg
The material ID is transformed in a color trough the usual process (like for MATERIAL_ID AOV saved in a .png: the 3 bytes of the int value are read as #RRGGBB).

Wait!
I correctly understand that in alpha 4 there will be a new material indentifier working better than in Cycles?
