Read Renderer.material only if it's instantiated

    Hi, I'd like to be able to read a Renderer's currently-assigned material without instantiating a specific instance if it's not already instantiated. i.e., something like:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. if (renderer.hasMaterialInstantiated)
    2.     return renderer.material;
    3. else
    4.     return renderer.sharedMaterial;
    This is so that I can render to a CommandBuffer from within a
    PostProcessEffectRenderer without specific knowledge of whether each renderer has had a specific material instantiated.

    Is this possible?

    Thanks
    Alex.
