vertex color on shape mat ID - bender - 01-14-2026
Hello there, I am new to tyflow
I wish to assign a vertex color to the material ID generated by the multifracture node.
( the idea behind this, is to have one vertex color ( green ) for the surface and one ( red ) for the edge, ... in order to use it in Embergen )
I know how to do it with Edit poly on the tyflow ( select by id, assign vertex color ) but I wish to know to do it inside tyflow.
( filter by material ID on the "vertex color" node doesn't affect shape mesh )
Thank you very much
Have a great evening
Best regards,

Embergen doesn't support material IDs? Alembic can export them...
You could try Max's data modifier or something to convert material IDs to vertex colors...I can't think of a more direct way at the moment.
