Hi Visose,

"does the grasshopper material create multiple materials from one
component if you input a list of values?"

Yes, the component that creates a material works just like any other
component, if you have multiple inputs, you'll get multiple outputs.
The problem is the preview component. I had to do some naughty hacky
stuff to get this to work at all within the current system, and the
need-a-separate-component-for-custom-previews solution is not to my
liking at all. However, implementing it the way I would like it means
weeks of development (luckily it wouldn't just benefit this one
aspect, it would be a good improvement of the GH interface in
general).

At the moment the Preview component only looks at the first material
in the input list, but I'll probably be able to fix that before I
release this.
