Thanks again, Alex.
Now all works.

You change only the first material (which is most likely outside the view), and the map uses a lot of materials (one for each tile).
Actually, this is the reason why the Mesh Renderer is hidden.
Generating a large number of previews can greatly slow down the inspector, and at high settings, it can cause inspector crashes.
The amount of material depends on your settings.

Please show how you do it, and I will give advice on how to fix it.

Hi Alex.

I can get the material, but I can`t change it on the map after the map was created.
If I use the exact same material and Playmaker setup in a cube, for example, I can change it in runtime.

Maybe a need an extra step to the map update the new material information?

Thanks

Hello.

Tileset Control creates a hidden Mesh Renderer component in play mode, and you can get / set materials.

Hi Alex.
I found another challenge for me (hope not for you ).
I want to add some nice effects in runtime to the map, like dissolve, vertex displacements, hologram, etc...
My difficult is the map does not have a standard material property and Playmaker can`t access the instanced material of the map.

I am using Amplify Shader with your PBR Bridge script and all works very well if you set up before hitting play, but if I change the material in play mode nothing happens.

Any idea of how to get the map working with a runtime configurable shader?

Thanks
