Exposure and Colour management

Oh,

What if you switch out the Join Geometry with a Geometry to Instances Node???

Otherwise, if you can post a link to your .blend file, via Dropbox, GoogleDrive, or so, then I can have a look and see what works. It should be an easy fix.

I’m not having trouble applying the modifier I’m having trouble retaining my assigned materials upon realising instances and applying the modifier

Cheers Omar and Martin for your help…. Martin I will try your last suggestion but failing that I shall send my blend file. Thanks so much 

[Christopher Stevens]

Where can I send the file please Martin? 

[Martin Bergwerf]

You can upload it to Dropbox or so and post a link here.

Hi Christopher,

Thanks for the file!

Sorry it took me so long.

But anyway, the problem is the way the randomization is set up in the Material. That gives a random per Object and after Realize Instances, all are just one Object.

There are several ways to go around this, but I think the easiest is to use an Attribute for the randomization. Maybe something like this (I also switched to a 1D Noise Texture because it’s ‘cheaper’):

Here is a link to the ‘fixed’ file:

Martin, thank you so much. I thought it might involve attributes of one sort or another but wasn’t sure of how to actualise that. I truly appreciate your time and expertise in helping me with this. Thank you so much!
