Have you tried CopyTo()? SetLink() will mean that both materials are using the same shader instance in memory - maybe this is not possible and thus the non-working secondary usage.

Hi Robert,now i've tried to getclone of shader tree and put it in the new material (Custom Material).

In fact the shaders tree are copied and i can see it in my VrayMaterial but.. are not working. Just i need to copy/paste the texture and it work.

for now i've tried this code:

Bool TransferShader (BaseMaterial* matStart, BaseMaterial* matDest,BaseDocument *doc, LONG shaderIdStart, LONG shaderIdDest){
     BaseContainer *bcMatStart = matStart->GetDataInstance();
     BaseContainer *bcMatDest = matDest->GetDataInstance();
     PluginShader *tempShader = (PluginShader* ) bcMatStart->GetLink(shaderIdStart,doc);
     if (tempShader){
          PluginShader *clonedShader = (PluginShader* ) tempShader->GetClone(NULL,NULL);
          if (clonedShader){
               bcMatDest->SetLink ( shaderIdDest, clonedShader );
               doc->InsertShader(clonedShader,NULL);
               clonedShader->Message(MSG_CHANGE);
          }
     }
     return TRUE;
};

now i'll reading the copyto

Hi all,

still is not working.

I tried to send msg to material, to the shaders.. but still the material preview is without the texture.
The OpenGL preview and the vray rendering is fine.

maybe that my material is a custom material?

Do i set somethings inside it ?

You have to add an EventAdd() after inserting the shader to refresh the preview. Little piece of working code:

BaseMaterial *bm = doc->GetFirstMaterial();
if(!bm) return TRUE;

BaseContainer *data = bm->GetDataInstance();
PluginShader *shd = PluginShader::Alloc(1001162);
if(!shd) return FALSE;

data->SetLink(MATERIAL_LUMINANCE_SHADER,shd);
bm->InsertShader(shd,NULL);
bm->Message(MSG_CHANGE);
bm->Update(TRUE,TRUE);
EventAdd();

this loads the mandelbrot shader from the sdk examples into the luminance channel.

cheers,
Matthias

have you called the BaseMaterial Update() function after inserting the shader?
