Hey E... only thing I can think of is to use extract polygons to extract
each poly cluster object into its own object, and then copy the shader from
the cluster level back to the object level..
then you could group and override from there..
Unfortunately clusters aren't supported at the pass level...
If the shader tree is simple enough, you could maybe try rendermapping the
clusters into a texture, and then apply it at the object level
and then delete the clusters..
But if you're hoping to alter cluster materials through partitions, you're
hooped....
On an aside note completely unrelated to passes and clusters.. lets get on
this figueroa thing.. we may have to explore other options..
8th on the waiting list sounds sort of hit and miss.

That email should have read:
---------------------------------------
I've got about thirty objects, each with multiple clusters that I've
organized into groups and assigned materials to at the group level. Now I
want
to change those materials as an override in a partition in a separate
pass.
Simply dragging the group of clusters into a new partition doesn't
appear to be the way to do this. Any hints?

Sorry about that; it's my first time typing English, evidently.
