I think there's a semi-hidden property called "Definition" that is
mis-documented available for expression sources (hinted at in a couple
examples but not included between the properties). Can't be arsed
verifying, but maybe you'll feel like giving it a shot :)

Hi Alan,
Very nice Math equation!

Hi Nicolas,
If I were you, I will have a super class which extends the Material so that I
will always maintain the integrity of Material itself.
I am not sure whether my approach is the standard way. But I won't use your
method of wrapping the material with another class.
Let's hear from others
I'll endorse Adrian's script. Works really well for both camera shake and
steadicam-style motion. If you can't find it, Adrian, I have it. I always
keep it close to me!

Its a design decision to avoid the use of pointers in the API. I understand
it's restricting the use of stl at some point but you can probably use CRef in
your container declaration instead.
e.g. std::vector< CRef >

Hey guys,
Anyone had any problems with this compound? I'm on 2012.SAP at work and I
enabled the Texture Projection options in the compound, but it doesn't seem
to transfer them. Material isn't transferring either it seems.
The source mesh is a super simple grid with a frozen planar XZ projection.

It is saying that it will copy the Materials and MaterialID attributes. Do
you have such data on your grid ?

This code set is a more useful example for usage than the one provided in

Hmmm, it's not displaying the materials so I think something's wrong still.
If I apply the source material on the ice polymesh object then I can
see the UVs transferred properly, but it's not setting materials from
source.

I hadn't noticed that apparently a MaterialID of 0 is not permitted
(and not noticed you used 1 in your screenshot.) I was under the
impression that 0 = first, but apparently 0 is not a good MaterialID

Indeed, it is good manners. I just wanted it in there so folks could

If I recall correctly, Python is smart enough to run the import only once.

Hey Brad,
Don't forget to check the attribute's .IsConstant property. If it's true
then it's a single value, not array and I would imagine your code would
fail as-is.
Just mentioning it if you want to use this for more general purposes where
you may not be sure there's an array coming.
Cheers,
Good advice in general. For my usage there will always be an array.
