access material that is linked to face
Hi!
I wanted to ask this to see if it was possible!
Is it possible to get the material that is displayed on a face?
For example, I have a mesh with two materials. If I 'shoot' the mesh, can I see what material was assigned to that face?
Thanks,

If 'shoot' the mesh means colliding with the mesh (detected by OnCollisionEnter or a Physics.Raycast) you can access the component(s) like this:
Graphics material used by the renderer:
collider.renderer.material
The Physics material is also available:
collider.material
Will this just default to the first material in the Renderers materials list?
Thanks for the response

AJ did you ever get this to work. I'm trying to cast a ray against an object and return the material that is under the hitpoint. I can get the list of materials associated with the collider and of course the main/first material in the objects material list but not the material under the hitpoint.
I've been researching this recently, and found this page: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/40377-Detecting-material-(material-index)-and-raycast-hit All you need to do to adapt this is use the hitSub$$anonymous$$eshNumber variable to get the index of the material on the hit object
Hope this is what you are looking for!

That worked perfectly! Thanks for the heads up, saved us some time in having to split up all of our multiple material objects into separate objects.
