Material module?

Scene Manager Wishlist & Feature Requests
#1

Hello,

I’ve seen support of Corona Select Material had already been requested, and was supposed to come in 2021 Q2 … but either I am missing something here, or it’s still missing ?
Any chance to get something on this side, please ? I recently made a little presentation of SM and RM, and a user suggested this, not renderer-dependant: a material module, allowing to select one or several objects, and assigning a material for this/these object(s) per camera. The idea is to avoid having to duplicate objects/layers to get the expected behavior, rendering the same camera multiple times with various materials, as smoothly as possible, with 3 materials or 20 :wink:

Thanks in advance for any idea you may have on this matter.

Bye.

Sure thing, this is definitely coming soon and it will be part of the objects module.

Good morning Peter,

Thanks a lot, it’s definitely a great addition !
2 questions though:

  • for now, dealing with multiple objects isn’t very practical, since we have to click on the Material update icon for each object … do you think this could be improved somehow ?
  • also, there were a discussion some time ago about the Corona Select Material. Is there still any plan to support this ?

Again, thanks for your effort making SM such a great tool, you have no idea how your work enhance our daily work :slight_smile:

Bye.
