amitgedia –
This is a really useful script when you want to assign different materials to different material id’s like floor tiles with some varied design or parquet with different wooden textures and this way you can have control over each texture with different material id’s. Main usage fore me using this script was to make colorful floor tiles with different material id’s which I can animate and make it feel like a disco floor. Great script.
