exchange materials

Support Materials and Textures

Hi there,

I am quite shure that there is a simple solution for my problem, but unfortunately I am unable to find it :frowning:

I have a complicated sceene with a lot of nested objects.

lets say we have 3 materials in the sceene, named: old, new, neutral

some objects have old, some new and some have neutral assigned.

I want to exchange old with new without the need of finding the old objects and without assigning new to the neutral objects.

I found a skript called Material works, but unfortunately it is old and therefor not working anymore.

thanks a lot
Jops

Hi

Blender have a shortcut for that it is…Ctrl - L = Make Link

Selet a object you want to change Materiale on…Right click the object you want the Materiale from.

Ctrl - L Select Materiale…Done…:slight_smile:

Work for modifier too.

Thanks a lot for your reply. but that is the reason I said it is a complicated scene, and I have to change many materials on a lot of different objects. I don’t want to search and select the objects every time. That would take ages :slight_smile:

thanks anyway

Sorry…I did not understand your question correctly or misunderstood it.

You can use the Shift L - Shortcut = Select Linked…:slight_smile:

Select object…Shift L - Select Materiale then select object with new Materiale and Ctrl - L Select Materiale.

Cheers and Happy Christmas…Puff Puff
