Smart Material Depth setting trick

For new users

I transposed on my part a few weeks some information on how depth works in the Smart Material Editor. A better way to understand it is below.

Top Tool Panel depth is set 100%

The best way to think of this is just have the top tool panel set to 100% always when creating your smart material and then just set the smart material depth as you normally would. If on the other hand the top tool panel is set at say 50% depth and you set the smart material at 20% depth, it is going to be 20% of half strength (50%) depth because the smart material gets its depth calculated from the top tool depth setting.

Now if you or another person you shared your Smart Material with has a different depth setting in the top tool panel, the 20% in the Smart Material will base off that depth setting in the top tool panel. The smart material will not appear has you made it originally because of this difference.

Sorry for any confusion this cause anyone.
