Hi!

I've assigned materials in solaris before, no problem. Now, I can't do it anymore. I tried restarting Houdini but nothing changes.

I've made a basic setup with the rubber toy and a pink material. When I render with karma, it has the default grey.

Looks like your path in componentmaterial is wrong (/ASSET/materials/collect1 vs /materials/collect1).

I just tried that but now, the component material node gives me an error I didn't have before: Unable to find primitive: /materials/collect1

Also, I created the /ASSET/materials/collect1 path by dragging the material in the slot. Technically, the path should be right.

There is a bug where the materials aren't showing up on Component Materials, but they do work if you dive inside or add a Component Output. We're working on the bug.
I'm o.d.d.
