Color Material Override

Override colors within sub-meshes.

Intro

Material Overrides allow you to edit materials inside complex/deep mesh structures like SVGs or Text. This can be achieved via the Sub-Mesh Behaviour's Fill or Stroke tabs.

When you add a Color Material Override to a Sub Mesh you can blend between the original color and the one you set. You can then, for example, connect a Falloff to the Sub-Mesh to control the effect.

3. Connect a Sub-Mesh to the Deformer attribute of the SVG Shape.

4. On the Sub-Mesh, switch to the Fill tab in the Attribute Editor.

5. Use the + button to add a Color Material Override to the Fill Overrides attribute.

6. Set a Color.

7. On the Sub-Mesh, open the Falloff tab and right click to add a Falloff.

8. Move the Falloff over the SVG Shape.

As the Falloff moves over the SVG the colors of the shapes will become the color you set on step 6.
