From the manual: "Currently the node supports mesh data, where material_index is a built-in attribute on faces", and "Selection: Whether to change the material index for each face". Even when you do stuff like this it ends up coloring faces, not instances. | |

Unfortunately in my case it doesn't work with my Instance on Points node setup. I have tried to amend your nodes to mine but I just can't figure it out. Would love if you could enlighten me as to how to make this work with the current project, thank you!! | |
