How many bars are? If they are not so many, maybe each bar has a different patch in the UV's bar 1 goes into 0,1 and bar 2 goes to 1,2, if you are using arnold it is very fast to set it up using UDIMS like images that you get from Mari. So you have one shader an a set of images that get attached to different uv patches.
Or you can go the texture map way. Apply a texture map property to each object and read that in the shader, I remember it was kinda flaky On Fri, Jan 10, 2014 at 1:21 PM, Gerbrand Nel <nagv...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey list..
