Description

Dear Devs,

I don´t know if it´s a bug or a feature wish.
When you use caps for the array modifier the material (and all other object data) of the caps object is ignored.

Best regards

Array modifier generates mesh data. So, it only knows material index (slot order).
The green material of the cap is on first material slot. The object with array modifier have only a brown material on first slot.
You need a second material slot to do the job.
See attached file : awcm.blend

Matcaps is just a drawing option for modeling. Nothing to do with the actual materials.

It was not about Matcaps. It is about start and end caps from the modifier.

Oh, my mistake... but was Ronan's reply sufficient now to have this closed?

Yes, can be closed. It is NOT very userfrienly how it is, but anyway.
