Overriding materials set by ICE Topology

Post by gustavoeb » 23 Oct 2012, 01:30

So, apparently this is not as simple as applying a material to my partition... any ideas? Is it even possible?

I put a custom boolean parameter on the relevant object and override this boolean as necessary with a conventional override. The boolean is then used in the ICE tree where you set materials to either only use MaterialID 0 or use the other MaterialIDs. If you set it to only use MaterialID 0 then the 'normal' material applied to the partition will be used...effectively allowing you to override ICE-generated materials. Hope that makes sense..
