So I have a pretty big scene and I tried managing the materials with the extension matalogue
Turns out this addon slows down a lot with many materials to the point is unusable, while others like material utils (I think this one comes with blender) are instant, probably bc is a different kind of menu, other way of using the API, who knows…
The thing is, is there a good addon for managing materials? I might have some that are duplicated or very similar but since they’re not gruped there’s no way to tell…
Houdini has a blackboard UI that while might get very big, you can group materials in a way that makes sense for you, I wish I could have a better list like matalogue that tells me which materials are in which collections, the asset manager might do that in the future but right now it doesn’t.
