Quote - Go the the Designer menu of VSS and then add a rule node with the name of each figure you want VSS to use in the "shader rules" material of the VSS prop
Sync will then apply the shader to all of them

(you might want to remove the ball and figure node)

"Apply Rules" material, not "shader rules". The Shader Rules defines what template to use for each target material zone. The Apply Rules defines which props and figures to apply that prop to.

If you change the Apply Rule from

to a specific figure name, it will only apply to that figure.

If you want some but not all figures, use a * to match multiple.

For example:

You have three figures V4_1, V4_2, V4_3. You want an untinted skin on two of them and a dark tint on the 3rd. Load two control props. Edit the template shaders as desired. Set one of them to have two Rule nodes in Apply Rules, Rule V4_1 and Rule V4_2. Set the other to Rule V4_3.

Or - you can carefully name your figures. Caucasion_1, Caucasion_2, and African_1. Then you set the two props up with one rule each - the first with Caucasion* and the other with African*.


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
