Hi everybody!
I've got a simple question. How can I get something like material or object ID at the requesting the samplerinfo node? I mean how can I know what is the material that is sampled, can I do that with samplerinfo node? Such things would be very usefull in Shading Networks. Thx in advance.

A "triple switch" utility node lets you branch off to different textures for different objects, even when all the objects share the same shader. That lets a shading network do most of the surface-specific things you could want.
