face assignments will indeed break your shading groups in not all, but certain peculiar situations. its reproducable as well. When on a tight deadline and your scene is 1 gig of textured, shaded geometry, one does not simply toy with fate :)
can you pls line that out? If so then this is a bug of a VERY basic feature!
In my experience: If you always assign to faces then the connections made will always be clean! If you assign a shader to the shape instead and then another one to ALL faces again. There will remain a connection to the first shadingGroup!!!
Ehmm... why is that?
ReplyDeleteshadingEngines are sets that hold only faces. You can be very wrong if you only ask the shapes for shadingEngines..
