link material to multiple objects.

I put engines on my ship & quickly textured one exhaust. I would like for the rest of them to have the same attributes.

They are all parented to the top one & were created via ‘shift-d’ from it. I swear I’ve been searching for the answer!

any help is appreciated.

select all the exusts, be sure to select the one with the material last and than click ctr+L > link materials.

ctrl-l …I coulda swore I tried that %|

thanks a bunch!

does this work with UV textured objects also?
