| Dec 7, 2023 at 23:06 | comment | added | Maroleiro | On other 3d softwares I have used (without procedural materials) the mapping information would be linked to the object and not the material. That way I could use a single material for different parts and If I were to make changes to the material It would automatically apply to all the parts without messing the mapping. | |
| Dec 7, 2023 at 23:03 | comment | added | Maroleiro | Since I am working on renders of a collection of chairs with different materials and have on the same scene multiple variations of the same chair, with different materials and positions/rotations I am spending way too much time duplicating and mapping the materials. | |
| Dec 7, 2023 at 22:58 | comment | added | Maroleiro | Current limitations: 1. I have to create a new material for the orientation of each of the parts in a chair. 2. If I duplicate the chair and move/rotate, the mapping gets messed up so I have to create new materials for each instance of the same chair. 3. If I wanted to have two chairs with slightly different materials I would have to make a copy of the material of each part. | |
| Dec 7, 2023 at 22:54 | comment | added | Maroleiro | Thanks @Robin Betts, I currently have a 'texture coordinate' node with the part of the chair I am mapping as the the object and outputting 'object' to the 'vector' input of a 'mapping' node where I rotate the material as needed. | |

| Dec 7, 2023 at 14:06 | comment | added | Maroleiro | Thanks you for your reply @Robin Betts, your solution makes sense to me theoretically but as a beginner I will have to do some more research to put that into practice! | |
| Dec 7, 2023 at 14:05 | comment | added | Maroleiro | Thank you very much @moonboots, node group fixed my issue! | |
| Dec 7, 2023 at 10:04 | comment | added | Robin Betts♦ | Using vertex colors or Geometry Nodes, you could encode the location and orientation of each part (with respect to the virtual timber) as attributes of its mesh. Those attributes could be passed into your shader, as adjustments of the overall texture coordinate. Does that sound about right? You could randomize the locations ,say, along the log to ensure parts are al cut from different stock, but with a similar character. | |
| Dec 7, 2023 at 7:58 | comment | added | moonboots | In the Shader Editor, you can create a node group and use this same node group in each material, any change in this node group will be replicated in each material, I don't know if it could be useful | |
