Python/VEX: create and assign material to each existing shop_materialpath

[anicg]

For each existing shop_materialpath (there are a lot of them):

- create a group, with the same name as the shop_materialpath

- create and assign a material with the same name as the shop_materialpath

I'm a bit lost here, I meant for each existing shop_materialpath, I do not need to create any shop_materialpath, I need to create groups and materials.

I have a 3D model pack that has some 30 shop_materialpaths, I just need each one of them to become a group and have a material in the mat context with the same name.

the shop_materialpath is a starting point, it's an input that we already have.

not entirely sure what youre wanting but hopefully this helps:

shop_materialpath.hipnc
shop_materialpath_py.txt

assuming all of your geometry has a shop_materialpath attribute, the wrangle will create a group for each
then if you run the code in the source editor (if its not already there paste in the txt file) it will create a new material in /mat for each group, and add each group and corresponding shop_materialpath to the material node
