Material overrides do not seem to work on V-Ray plane

[snivlem]

Hi,

when using a material on vray plane with material overrides enabled and hooked up to any slots, it doesn't seem to work.

Maya 2011x64 Hotfix 3, Feb 1st build of V-Ray.

It works fine here.
Can you send us the scene to: vraymaya@cahosgroup.com

Hi Zdravko,

I think I may have been using this node wrong the whole time, thanks to your comments.

How I've been using it in the past:

1) I used to create the vray plane
2) Then I'd assign a material to the "initialShading" slot, which would replace lambert1

However I guess this is wrong and what I should be doing is this:

1) Create vray plane
2) On the SG node, create a material override and assign materials to the shading slots here, leaving the initial shading slot intact

Sorry I did not think of this before the posting of the thread!
