Hello,

Some more details prease.

You can save a material of a mesh in a extra resource file, use this resource on the MeshInstance node, check the "Local To Scene" button on the shader of this material and set different ShaderParameter for each MeshInstance in the Material Slot.

Yeah, I think this is the only way to do it, sadly. Otherwise it's with all the other amazing features, hidden inside the Godot documentation next to ss reflections ;) (the docs are really good, though, if you know what you're looking for!)

in blender, you can create materials and assign them (the materials only need a name), then you can edit the materials in Godot (the inspector) if you have exported them as GLTF or DAE (not .escn, as they are embedded, I think). then you can edit the generate .tres files (they appear when godot '(re)imports' a 3d model).

Whoops, I don't think I understood what you said the first time. Ill keep this answer here though, in case anyone else needs it.
