I am trying to set a unique render attribute on each object in my scene, and I want something like this:

GetComponent<ModelRenderer>().Attributes.Set( "MyColor", myColor);

.. but that isn't doing anything. I also tried making a clone of the OverrideMaterial per object.

I know the material is set up correctly internally at least as this works, but it affects every object:

Scene.RenderAttributes.Set( "MyColor", myColor);

Does anyone have an example that works?

I would expect what you're doing there to work

you'll also need to do

SceneObject.Batchable = false;

otherwise it will "bleed" over to other objects using that model

Hmm ok cool that probably means I lose some optimizations like instancing maybe?

Looks like I needed:

GetComponent<ModelRenderer>().SceneObject.Attributes.Set( "MyColor", myColor);

(On the SceneObject instead of the ModelRenderer itself)

That makes some sense, but did GetComponent<ModelRenderer>().Attributes even work? I don't really see how it could have - that member doesn't exist? We should create it?

Ah sorry this is what I tried that didn't work, botched it when I was simplifying the example

GetComponent<ModelRenderer>().GetMaterial().Attributes

I could see maybe needing to create unique material instances per object or something, but I couldn't see the result of this at all even globally
