New Material Plus for quick save and single application of multiple materials
  • Material Plus (*.iMtlPlus) is a new format for saving multiple materials. 
  • Benefits: Application of Material Plus can apply multiple materials with a number of parameter adjustments with one single operation.
    • For example, the embedded Fan prop has three sub-nodes each with a separate material.  By using Material Plus, all of the three materials are packaged into a convenient *.iMtlPlus file for speedy save and deployment.

      Sample 2: Apply Multi-Materials to Single Mesh

  • Material Plus files can be found under Content > Media > MaterialPlus
    • Note: Material Plus deployment works by matching to the original mesh name, mesh vertex count, and the material name.  If a match is found then the material is applied, if not then it is simply skipped.  Therefore, every content will need a very specific Material Plus file to match (pass detection).
