Similarly, each object has its own shaders. You can add more channels as you would normally. When you add a new object, Mari creates a single channel, diffuse, to hold the diffuse color. When you add channels, you have the option to apply the action to all objects in your project. Channels and Shaders on Multiple ObjectsĮach object in the project has its own set of channels. To have a look at the main UI differences, see Mari 3.3 vs 4.0. Even though the Mari 4 workspace is different, the workflow remains the same. This video shows the workflow using Mari 3. Video:For more on working with objects, have a look at the Managing Geometry in a Project video. The objects within a project are listed in the Objects palette. Removing an object from a project has no effect on the source file for the object. All projects must have at least one object. If a project has two or more objects, you can remove objects from it.

Once you've created the project, you can add more objects to it. When you create a project, you must load in an object. This allows you to, for example, build up a road scene with twenty sections of pavement, two lamp posts and a fire hydrant from three basic models (pavement section, lamp post, and hydrant). You can load multiple copies of a single object into the project. You can show and hide objects, so you can easily switch between working only viewing a single object, and seeing how it fits with the other objects. This lets you paint objects in context - for example, you can paint all the elements of a character's costume by loading them up onto the character. Mari allows you to load multiple objects and child objects into a scene, and paint them at the same time.
