Elefront attributes component output

[Pixel_q]

hi
I’m using elefront version 5.1.8
and I dont quite understand how the elefront attributes model works.

Why are the inputs also the outputs? how will this compile to the attribute input in the bake component?
here when I add layer info and materials, the output does not visualize the material. I couldn’t find docs for the latest version anywhere

thanks!

Also, to answer your actual question, you are currently passing the Material Name into the “Ms” input, which is for Material Source. This is how you set the object’s source to “Object”, “Layer”, or “Parent”. So you want to set “Ms” to “Object” (so that an object assigns its own Material), and then pass the actual name of the material into the “Mn” input. You can also attach a Value List to the “Mn” input and it will automatically populate with the materials defined in your model.
