    I am trying to set different MaterialPropertyBlocks for a MeshRenderer that has 2 material. But as far as I know, this is not possible, since you get the MaterialPropertyBlock from the renderer, and you cannot choose which material to apply the property block to.
    Is there a way to solve or work-around this? thanks!

    Use two renderers. Either split the mesh or leave one material in the renderer's materials array null.
