Here is a big issues that is the key to some of us, at least for me is a little taboo. uhhh

Say i have 2000 clones or mutliple copies of the same object , i got one of them textured ,transparency, clip, ambient, transmission , the whole deal.
Than i go to Create Master Material, than i think ok i now can add the same texture all my copies of the same object.

I tried to texture all of them with a Master Material. but no i have to go object per object to uncheck the LIVE MATERIAL box, and go through each one of them and hit UPDATE FROM MASTER. Is there any easier work flow?

Thanks all,
Edgard

I have some ideas for the develper to have a contextual menu with options to set tp children or tho remaining, becuase it worked on the

Live Material check box why not on the Reload form Master?

thanks, Edgard

Hi Edgard,

You can copy and paste materials from one object to another? Would this help?
1. Click the material ball
2. Copy
3. Select groups in the project window
4. Paste

Hi ,

Ok i did that for 600 objects in my scene. I guess i had to do it the ¨WORK HARD¨ way !!!
Yon i gues i have to make links for useful setuff like these one i have the plug in . Just forgot to use it.

Edgard,

to uncheck e.g. the live material checkbox of 2000 groups, select these groups, uncheck the desired checkbox, right mouse-click - set selected - that’s it.

Hi Michael i did that,
But can i have a right click on the RELOAD FROM MASTER command ? So i can set them to all of the reminder objects.
I find these tool very useful, IMOP but is not there.

But i might try it another time with the UV plug in.

Thanks,
Edgard

Hi all,

I’m slightly lost, are you using passive master materials (the little lock next to the visibility button in the texture list)? If you are not, then you do not need to click ‘reload from master’.

Best,
Ian

Of course if you used Placer Deposit, you wouldn’t have to do anything.

HI Blair ,

Very wise words.
