Actor operator not inheriting material from actor nodes - Vance - 06-10-2019

The latest update has an option in the actor operator  to inherit the material from the actor nodes.

I can't seem to get that to work right no matter what combination of material assignments I try.   My actors only receive a material if I assign one to the tyflow node itself.

I was under the impression that it would inherit the material applied to the actor geo.

Thanks,

V Miller

Instance material inheritance only works when rendering with VRay instances, and only applies to tyActor particles (it does not carry through on skinned meshes).

Ok I will stick with my previous method of applying materials to skinned meshes if thats the case.
