bentway23 Posted Sunday at 05:58 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:58 PM I have several objects (using Solaris/Karma) that will have very similar materials but a few things will need to vary (such as uv tiling count). Is it possible to create something like a material instance which I could use for each object and have a few parameters(/inputs?) that can be tweaked per object, but most of the fine-tuning can be changed once at the "source" and propagate across all of the instances (like in UE)? I tried collapsing the texturing nodes into a subnet and promoting the parameters that need to be tweaked as subnet inputs, and then creating a reference copy of the subnet, but that didn't seem to work. (Possibly it was from me creating the reference copy, then having to cut-and-paste it into the new material). If what needed to be tweaked were just something like color I could make the adjustable parameters point attributes on the models and read them in. Would that just be the best way to go? Create an attribute that would then be read in to drive the UV tiling frequency? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
