Material SOP?

What’s the state of the material SOP. Is it safe to use?

Seems fine so far, but I noticed that object-merging a SOP which has a MAT applied (via the material SOP) will result in a loss of the MAT reference. Known bug? No bug?

thx

It’s safe to use, but if your SOP chain is cooking it’ll be quite slow, as the Material SOP needs to copy the geometry.

A SOP can only have 1 material applied to it at a time, it’s not per-primitive or per-group. So merging them will result in 1 material being used.
