Currently no, although i know that applying deform recursively on a World would
be usefull. However there is no easy way to implement that, until making

You'd only have to rely on the OpenGL state in the display
list of a Shape. Then there are only two possibilities --
a given face specifies its own material

Here's another feature suggestion: Inheritance of
materials down the object hierarchy.
In SketchUp, you can define a component with no
material specified for some or all of its faces,
and then apply different materials to different
instances of that component. The faces which have
no material inh
