Same colour in different materials

Post by Racleborg »

Is it possible to have various objects with their own material but share a colour, so that if I change the colour on one of the materials it will update in all the other materials?

An example would be a cushion with buttons. The cushion has Material A, the buttons have Material B, but they both share the same Constant Colour node.

Thanks

Yes, the texture node trees are intended for this use.
I made a short video for you showing how to set this up, I hope it's clear enough:

Yes, very clear. Thank you

That is going to make things so much easier for me in the the future, from way that I have been doing things. :D

Many thanks again
