Title: Does the Material operator work with nested generators? (Arnold)
Post by: tonyinseattle on January 21, 2022, 05:41:08 AM
Hey there...

Does the Material operator work with nested generators? If so, what am I doing wrong?

I have a wedge-shaped segment that is assigned material 1. I've applied a multi-subobject material to it that only uses slots 2, 3, and 4.

I've set up an A2S array with x and y splines. Then I've nested that in a line generator to stack the arrays vertically.

I've set a Material operator just before the segment to change the material ID randomly from 1 to 2, 3 or 4.

If I kill the line generator, I get a nice array of wedges with random materials 2, 3, and 4.

But with the line generator, no material IDs are changed. The nesting kills it.

I've tried this both with Instancing on and off. Any ideas?

Hi!

I believe your problem with material IDs will be solved with new 5.1.1 update.

Thanks to both of you! I tried searching for a solution prior to posting, but did not find the other post. Any ideas when 5.1.1 will be released? If it’s going to be a while, I might ask for a patch also, like you provided in the linked post above. Thanks!
