Hi, Solaris Noob here!
I was connecting my Reference node (using a usd path on hard drive) to an Instancer node. It worked! ...But if I use a Reference node to get the materials, the instancer doesn't show any geometry in viewport.

Okay, if/when you're able to share a hip file (either here or via support), we're happy to have a look.

Hi!
I made a simple example in Apprentice 19.5. Still getting the same problem. This time I can show the file!
I applied a green material that shows while rendering (before instancing). Once I use the instancer (default settings) my instances are grey.
(* I'm very new to solaris, btw)
