[pullquote]Material Style Sheets provide a powerful and flexible new way to assign Mantra materials and overrides.[/pullquote]Mark offers detailed explanations for how to employ StyleSheets which can describe attributes for a variety of elements including geometry, objects, packed primitives and even crowds.
The Masterclass goes on to cover the use of VEX scripting to automate and procedurally override parameters at render-time, all based on the attributes of geometry.
