Nested Generator Material ID Inheritance

(1/3) > >>

Adnan Malkoç:
Good morning guys,

Did you change the behaviour of "nested generator material ID inheritance" with RC5? I didn't notice (or missed) that within changelog. Today I opened up my previous work (made with RC4) and all material ID's messed up... Huge mess... I checked everything one by one but couldn't find any error. Anyway, at the end I created a simple setup and yes, there is no sense to change mat ID before a nested generator because it's getting resetted afterwards. Am I missing something?

Also my problem still continues on this thread. I still can't update my RC. Is it related with that?

By the way I really liked the "nested generator material ID inheritance". Sounds like an important technical thing that we don't understand.

Kind Regards

In RailClone 5, the ID list is now a text input so that you can create a comma-separated list of IDs, or define a range, or both.
So, there have been some changes but I don`t think there was a change in nested behavior (although RC4 is a distant past for me at the moment to compare  :D)
What seems to be a problem?
Did you use MatID for some size calculations? This could be an issue if you change Units setup.

Adnan Malkoç:
Hi Dragan,

Thank you for your reply.
Actually I'm using user input for Mat ID (not a fixed list). I have a multi-sub object material with many colors, so user can choose between wide range of selections.

Now I tested a random library setup. Could you please test this also?

Normally everything works great. You can choose material from parameters.
But... If you add a new generator at the end and connect previous generator into any slot accordingly, material selecting feature is gone. Because material ID selections prior to final generator is resetted.

Is it a bug or is it a feature?  :D

As a separate question, where do I enter that comma-separated ID list?

Thank you!

Hi Adnan and Dragan,

I think I can reproduce this issue as shown in GIF below



I'll pass this on to our development team for further investigation. Thanks for reporting it.

I dont have 3dsmax at the moment.
Did you include the name of the final generator if you use the expression?
