Hey!
i come from maya originally, and the way c4d saves render passes as a million files in a single folder is really not the best method for my workflow. im currently trying to figure out a way to make a plugin that would intercept the render data's path and add subfolders based on multipass layers. does anyone have a good resource or spot where i can understand how c4d renders and saves files?

HI man.
I was after this idea some time ago, but didn't find a solution to intersect render, so I ended up making a plugin RENOMI that you would normally run After render is done.
Now, based on your MultiPass settings (Object Buffer names, other passes) RENOMI will rename those files / put them in separate folders / update compositing file / etc.

here is a script i use for this. it has some limitations - if you need it often renomi is defently the bedder choise in case of other languarges and comp tools
