fix: carry material through the GN SDF remesh with Set Material#20
Merged
Conversation
GN-generated geometry carries no material, so the input mesh's material was dropped on remesh and the result rendered default white -- a real user gotcha. build_remesh_via_sdf now re-applies the input material inside the tree via a GeometryNodeSetMaterial node on the GridToMesh output (the GN-native fix; verified to carry through on both builds: eval mesh materials=['Clay']). Added a material-present assertion (the source material must appear on the evaluated mesh) alongside the existing vertex-delta check, and a Materials gotcha note in the README. Verified headless on Blender 4.5.10 LTS and 5.1.1. Signed-off-by: fOuttaMyPaint <TMhospitalitystrategies@gmail.com>

Phase 2 of 5 — fix the gn-sdf-remesh material drop
Geometry Nodes-generated geometry carries no material, so the input mesh's material was dropped on remesh and the result rendered default white — a real user gotcha, not just aesthetics.
Fix (GN-native, carries through):
build_remesh_via_sdfnow re-applies the input material inside the tree via aGeometryNodeSetMaterialnode on theGridToMeshoutput. Verified it carries through on both builds (evaluated meshmaterials=['Clay']). Added a material-present assertion (the source material must appear on the evaluated mesh) alongside the existing vertex-delta check, and a "Materials gotcha" note in the README.Verified (check-only, both builds)
The existing smoke step (gn-sdf-remesh check-only) now also exercises the material assertion — no workflow change needed.
fix:→ cuts a patch (0.4.1). Roadmap decoupled in #19, so no renumber.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
