Hi Azarus,

Thanks for the report. Custom Output was not intended to be visible or directly usable in the Material Editor but for some reason it’s showing up.

Instead it’s intended to be extended in C++ by a programmer to allow the material to generate different shader code that could be used in a post process or other effect.

It’s crashing because it’s an incomplete implementation. I’ll make sure it’s hidden and can no longer crash in 4.9.

Cheers
