I used the PCG method to quickly generate multiple spheres in the area, but what I got was an ISM object, and I wanted the texture to change when I clicked on a single sphere object.I wonder if there’s way I can do to achieve my goal! Thanks for any advice.
What’s the actual end goal?

This can be achieved in many ways, but all (?) of them come with caveats. What to choose depends on the details.
- replace the clicked instance with a static mesh → assign new material
- use per instance custom data
- move the instance to another ISMc
Sorry for not explaining clearly. My end goal is as follows, for example, there are eighty spheres in my picture. When I click on one of them, its color turns red, which means I hope to be able to manipulate each sphere individually and set its material.
I will try the method you mentioned.Thanks!
Just to clarify, these are 3 separate methods.
Colour does not need to equal a new material. If it’s about changing just the colour, try the Per Instance Custom Data approach - definitely the most fun to learn out of the abovementioned bunch:
In short: imagine you did not need to store colour information in a material, but you could do it in each sphere instance instead. Here’s an example:
