Good video. So many different workflow options 😊.

If you were iterating over the same x number of materials, multiple times using the frame number as the input, using the modulo function of the math node, should enable this when the frame number exceeds the number of materials.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

I somewhat get a feeling this method is quite tedious. I'm not familiar with the asset library yet. I still use node groups as Custo material setups. Ps I've made an edit to the edit linked libraries, where when you edit them you can click a relais button. This is handy when you work with large scènes. Because normally you either need to do this manually in blender file section in the outline or close and reopen the working file.

send me the new version with that edit, I'll test it out.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

@@christopher3d475 I mailed you my version. Hope it works for you as well

[@RomboutVersluijs]

I'd rather do scenefrake + 1 so you don't get issues when doing animations and such. There is a reason I believe they start at frame 1 and not ar frame 0. Can't recall though why or what the reason was

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Ps when you showed the method of linking it to scene 02. I was wondering, can't we simply instance the same tall cup in the other scene? It's been a while since I worked with that feature. I don't work with scenes that much. Most of the times I create collections for different scenes in the main scene

[@christopher3d475]

The transfer function I showed creates an instance into the other scene.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

@@christopher3d475 so if we do shift a in that other scene, we can't insurance the same object. I've not tried this yet, are collections bound to a per scene base?

[@RomboutVersluijs]

@@christopher3d475 i tried it today. Adding an instance collection in a other scene work just the same as duplicate into scene. Ps you can also do it from the outline. Seems like same approach

I know this might be too much to ask, but could you someday consider doing a tutorial of an entire scene (like a kitchen for example)? I really like the look you're able to achieve in Blender. Best regards!
