Hey guys, I can't assign materials on packed geo in Solaris. I did a simple scene with instanced boxes and spheres and i want to assign different material on each "Prototype", but it doesn't work, i don't get any material on packed geo.

This can be achieved by modifying the way the packed prims are brought into Solaris (specifically as a Point Instancer instead of Native Instances).

What about the edit prototypes node, would it work in this instance?
