Multi/Sub-Object Not Working in Corona Layered Material (Issue + Suggestions)

[bhavin007]

Hey everyone,

I was testing Corona Layered Material and noticed that the Multi/Sub-Object Material doesn’t seem to work as expected. In V-Ray Blend Material, it works just fine, but in Corona, I’m not getting the correct results.

I’ve attached some images to show what’s happening on my end—maybe I’m missing something? If there’s a workaround, I’d love to hear about it!

And if this isn’t currently supported, do you think it could be considered for a future update? It seems like a useful addition that could help a lot of users.

Looking forward to any insights or suggestions.

Thanks!

I think it would be easier to suggest you something if we could know what exactly you're trying to achieve. Maybe try to adjust your setup, so that Corona layered material could be plugged into multi-sub object and not the other way round.
