Override on cluster material

Override on cluster material

One suggestion.  If you throw your four clusters into a group, overrides
applied to the group will effect all the members..  It doesn't help so much at
the partition level, but hopefully it will let you come up with a workaround.

 Subject: Override on cluster material


 Hi List,

 Here is the plbm:

 I've got this mesh with 4 different polygon material clusters on. All have
displacement.
 I want to override their surface to a constant instead of texture maps (and
keep the displacement.)
 When I do this, only one cluster gets affected.
 The override doesn't seem to be able to sort-out multiple cluster entries.

 I know it has been talked about before but I am curious to know
 if someone has got a better/simpler workaround that the one proposed by
Ludovick on this thread :
 http://www.softimage.com/community/xsi/discuss/archives/xsi.archive.0204
/msg00641.htm

 Thanks all,
 F.
