BEER Materials & Geometry Nodes

[eballeste]

I am relatively new to Blender and am experimenting with both Geometry Nodes & Malt/BEER and was wondering if there was a way to convert the results of all of the layering into a single new material so that I can assign it to instances in geometry nodes?

I noticed that I can choose from new BEER materials which I guess answers my question above:

But now I am wondering, how do I manage these BEER materials if they are not assigned to a specific object in the scene?? How can I rename / delete these layers?

Answering my own questions 😅, i can rename/delete the materials via Blender's Shader Editor panel

Or via the Blender File display mode of Blender's Outliner panel.

It would be cool if I could load the BEER layers by clicking on the material on the right.

I'm still not sure how I can load the layers of a BEER material that is not assigned to an object, for now i guess i can just temporarily assign it to something.
