RE: Overide on material

["Turner, Nathan" <nturner(at)ea.com>]

The one comment I’ll make about overrides and the <LOCKED Due to override> is that you essentially have created local copies of the same shader.  And like Chris is saying, you would have to either remove the overrides, if it’s not at the pass level, or switch passes to force an update.  I’m not sure overrides are the best for NON-pass work.  Love them in passes though.

it's a pain - to get it to update you need to switch to another pass and then back.

Partitions are sort of groups, so you could try groups, I guess. One for

each object then override on the group.

Subject: Overide on material

Hi All,

I have about 12 objects all with the same material on. Each 

one is going to have a different image textured on.

So what I want to do is have 1 material then add an overide 

to each object and specify the different images. But when I 

do this, XSI creates a new material by itself, which says 

<locked by overide> which doesn't reference back to the 

original base material. Huh?!

Is there a way of doing this?

Thanks

Chris
