Materials in Marionette?

[Peter Vandewalle]

I'm building a simple hybrid object in Marionette.

Now I'd like to use materials in the object. There seem to be no nodes for materials in Marionette.

I'm missing 2 nodes:

• A 'materials popup' node to select a material from the available materials in the current document.
• A 'set material' node to attach a material by name to an object by handle.

I've been able to create the latter.

But when I create the 'materials popup' node, I'm running into an issue. When I create the node, it lists the materials in the document correctly, but when I add a material to the document, it doesn't update except when I save the current document...

I'm attaching my custom nodes.

Maybe you can find required material nodes here:

@drelARCH: Very interesting nodes by @Takeshi_Kimura but unfortunately there's no 'materials popup' node in his list either.

Thank you ! Was hoping you could explain how can they be used? is it possible to transfer properties from a custom record to a material record? i.e. if an object has a material attached and has a custom record attached that I wanted to link to each other, could I use the nodes to transfer the information from the record to the material property?
