polygon selection tags

[sketchbook]

i have a poly object which is mapping great. logo flat mapped onto the base model. i also have a poly selection tag with a corresponding material. however this poly selection tag seams to cancel out the enture objects base texture.

i tried mixing this new material and that actually somehow maps this texture onto the entire object, well past the polygon selection area

any suggestions?

I just experienced that on an object myself, so would also be interested in some insight!

invert the selection and create a second polyselection, this time for the basematerial. Looks like each material needs its own selection tag.

Just tried it on a sphere and works as expected.

The order of my process:

Apply base material
Select polygons
Set selection
Drag 2nd material to object
Drag selection tag to attribute manager.

ahha. that makes sense.

thanks!

Yes,

the default material for non specified selection must be declared..
sorry for this but guaranteed stable code for now and it's logic :)

hmm.

so i inverted my tag, and made a new tag, applied the material to that tag. not working :(

what could i have done wrong?

Polygon selection on materials using alpha are not working right now, we'll have to wait for a fix.

Hi guys,
if what you want is to use multiple material on the same selection, this is not yet possible. I a future upgrade we'll make a VrayBlendMaterial that will make possible to use stacked materials on selections.

ahha.

Hi there.
Note yet done with 1.03?

[DanieleF]

Hi guys,
the VrayBlendMaterial will be introduced in a future upgrade, probably for the 1.1 release.

it's ok if there is a base mat. but i don't wanna use a base mat. for my object.
base :no mat. selected polys:red ?
