Hey guys,
Is it possible to share certain nodes in the render tree between materials? I
mean, that I have about 7 materials, that would share a Color Save State node
which delivers the same color value to these materials.
I'd like to avoid custom parameters on scene root, etc. if possible...
Yes it is, but it's a hack and needs a few lines of scripting. The problem is you get what you describe but a shading node in Softimage can always have one owner (Material container in this case) only. So even when it is connected to other shading nodes of different material containers it will
I found it...Ideally you could just add any shader in the scene to any Material container like so (in the example a Cell shader from "Scene_Material" to another "Material")Application.AddToContainer( "Sources.Materials.DefaultLib.Material", "sphere.Scene_Material.Cell" ) #
Does not work!
However,
Stefano's Radio Shaders do just this if you are using MR, I believe.

Not sure if they're still compatible with later versions of Soft though...
