Enmesh doesn't work with multiple materials

[gabriel_chahouddealmeida]

Hi, guys!

I’m exploring the V-Ray Enmesh a little bit more these days, but it seems that they don’t work well when we need more than one material.

When trying the Pattern 011 from Cosmos, which is a block of concrete and grass, I’m not able to properly assign the materials for each part of the model (concret, soil and the grass itself). The original Enmesh instance shows the materials correctly, but on the surface where it’s applied, the materials don’t work.

• Host surface is a group
• Material of grass directly assigned to the surface
• Materials are enabled on the Enmesh proxy mesh instance
• I’ve turned on and off the options related to material IDs to test
• Materials are from Cosmos as well as the Enmesh pattern
• Latest V-Ray and SketchUp updates installed (checked today)

Am I missing something here, is that really a bug?

Hello gabriel_chahouddealmeida​!

Thanks for sharing your findings!
The easiest way for properly assigning materials to the applied Enmesh is using a Multi Material, applied to the surface.
An example with the Cosmos Enmesh’s Patterns 011:

• a Multi Material with Grass, Concrete and soil can be applied to the object
• Enable Use Items Mtl IDs option

Kind regards,
Ivelina
