Hello,

I need to make a material which will be use different color for its diffuse channel according to object ID or user data.
Is it possible in Octane?

I have 100 balloons, I don't want to create multiple materials just to change color.

Hi,
you can use the Object Layer Color node and change the color in the Octane Object tag of the object, or use an Instance Range node with Maximum ID 100, and an Octane Gradient node to change the colors.

You are welcome :)

You need to use xpresso to connect user data to octane materials.
Can you share a screenshot or example of what you need?

ciao,
Beppe
