Coding Released Scripts and Themes

Yesterday I was reading in the forums about material relationships and how to display them, so I decided to create a very simple addon for that.

The panel display the objects that use a selected material and there is a button to select all objects using this material.

You can download in: https://github.com/Antonioya/blender/tree/master/display_materials

Are you sure this can be installed as described on the github page? For some reason it doesn’t register.

Download the file and then, copy the script to addon folder.

For me, it works. (blender 2.69 official release)

Note: be sure to use RAW button in Github for downloading the file.

Hi Antonioya,

I work on a very big blend file (1800 objects - 125 Mo) and I use your very usefull addon:
Material Relationship.
i have all object selected and the last one actif for one A material.

Do you have thought to continue this add-on to exchange this current “A material” with “B material” for the sockets of all selected objects, please?

This would be a GREAT NEW INNOVATIVE FEATURE FOR BLENDER !
What do you mean, please?
Best regards.

Try this, been playing with it this afternoon, seems to work for me.

Was a bug in it, if found object is in a hidden collection, it fails. If you make sure all your collections are active, should be ok until I can track the problem and see if I can figure out how to fix it.

EDIT AGAIN: Ok, now try it, think I’ve fixed the bug above :slight_smile:
