Create Multiple Materials - Linked Thread

Continuing the discussion from Create Material:

This thread had a custom script that can create a single material but would like to have it create multiple materials.

it failed on being fed a list. my beginner python skills weres no match.

Assuming you mean the python node shown in this image:

My recommended solution for a Python beginner would be to make a custom node out of the Python node, so you can use Dynamo’s built in list levels and lacing to deal with the replication.

Hi @AdamHamilton,

Or you can use a custom node of an existing package.
Some other custom nodes might be useful to you.

Yes with this part :

#Iterate through the input names list
for n, cl, sp, tar, spC, cp, cpC, trans in zip(names,colors,surfPat,fillPatTargets,surfPatCl,cutPat,cutPatCl,transparency):

i was getting close…but as they say “horseshoes and hand grenades”
