General Issues and Bug Reporting

Summary

Since the V.40.00 update, setting materials on custom Scene Graph Entities via set Mesh.MoneyMaterial = Material no longer works. The entity is created and added to the simulation successfully, but the material is not visually applied — the entity either shows the default material or is invisible (if default is transparent).
