Preserve materials from reference objects
« on: September 15, 2023, 01:25:52 AM »
Is there a way to keep the material of the original object in raiclone?
I have this series of objects, they are all proxies and are already mapped with a few materials, but when creating a raiclone system they all shows gray.
I know I can use a multi object material, but it would be a lot easy to just keep the original material of the objects.
thank you.

Hi,

For these purposes, there's the Style > Use Segment Material option - as mentioned in our online documentation: "When enabled, RailClone used the materials applied to the source geometry instead of those applied to the RailClone object. The source materials are only applied at render time, the viewport still uses the material assigned directly to the RailClone object."

I hope that helps.

Best regards,

Excellent, thank you.
I was looking around but I was just focused on the node window, not on the exterior properties.
Thanks
