Solid Set Material

Overview

Overrides the material ID and color of every primitive in a solid at once. Use it to make an assembled solid uniformly stone or metal, or reuse the same shape with different colored materials.

• Coordinate system: z-up (x right, y back, z up). Dimensions are in units (converted to pixels at render time with pixels_per_unit).

Usage tips

• A shortcut for recolor variants is to branch several Set Material nodes downstream of one completed solid. This creates a stone tower and an ice tower from the same shape without editing the geometry again.
• Material IDs matter in downstream Surface processing after rendering (separate colors and textures by material). Use a convention such as core:stone that matches downstream processing.
• To change materials selectively, set each primitive's color / material_id on its generation node before combining. This node applies one override globally.

Related nodes

• solid_render — destination that inherits the material IDs
• surface_assign_material — manipulate materials after rendering
• solid_combine — assemble the target of the global change

Examples

Change an assembled solid uniformly to stone, metal, or another material.
