I hope your power situation gets fixed soon! Power outages really suck.
Yeah, so the intention of strata materials is for materials that can have aspects of multiple shading models.
I don’t have a full understanding of how it works, I’ve been trying to understand the source but it’s taking me some time.
I believe that strata materials internally replicate the shader models (I think they get compiled in to some sort of strata model). Either it might be possible to add a custom material shader to expand upon the strata system, or it might be possible to create a custom strata model and run it directly???
I’m really not confident, but i think there is a slight chance that it would be possible.
