Corona Multi Shader no randomisation

Hi all

I'm hoping this is a simple question, but I was after a little help with the Corona Multi Shader please.

What I would like to do is to have the ability to choose whether the textures/colours within the Corona Multi Shader are either randomly assigned, which appears to be the default behaviour I'm currently experiencing, or alternatively for the textures/maps within to be assigned in 'order' across the objects within a Cloner.

Often having things randomly assigned is super useful and convenient but other times I have the need to for certain objects to be a particular colour in a more uniform or controllable manner - say for example, the shades 1-10 in the Multi Shader are assigned to the objects 1-10 that the Cloner object produces.

Then if I had say a grid of objects, 10 x 7 as example, that the next 60 textures/maps would be applied to the rest of the objects in sequence, left to right.

I hope that makes sense? But any control over the application of the textures instead of randomly would be a huge workflow boost.

Does the above provide enough information? Please let me know if there's any more detail I can add that would help to better explain.

Thanks in advance

Hi again

Just wondered if anyone had any input on the above please?

Not sure if what I’m asking is totally nuts or really simple lol. One of the extremes I imagine!

Maybe it’s not the multi shader I should be using and there’s another way/approach maybe?

monsieurblack:
Hi again all

This would be a massive help if anyone could kindly offer up and ideas around this please?

I'm not sure if what I'm asking is blindingly obvious or actually something potentially a little 'trickier' to setup? But either way I'd really appreciate any guidance on how I could control the distribution of a series of images across cloner objects please.

Thanks again

Cinemike:
Wouldn't the native C4D Multi Shader in Index Mode just do that?

houska:
Hi, this is an interesting request. I am afraid it's not possible using Corona Multi Shader. You could have some luck with what Cinemike suggests though...

What are you trying to achieve actually? I suppose you can't just group the objects into groups and assign the materials to those groups?
