  • Adding and editing a channel to several selected materials at once?

    Posted by Robbie Mcgill on July 5, 2017 at 6:40 am

    Hi

    I have a big city like area with hundreds of materials.

    Half of those materials I have selected, and I tried adding a reflection channel to all those selected materials. That works.
    But after that I can not configure the reflection channel (adding beckman or phong whatever)
    I really don’t have the time or patience to click on each of the hundred materials to add a beckman to the reflection channel.

    Is there any way I can do this at once? Thanks in advance

    -Rob

    This was a problem in earlier implementations of the new reflection channel, but they improved it with R18. It’s still fairly limited, but if you have materials that have the same layers and layer types you can multi-select them and add new reflection layers and adjust new or existing layers. Obviously that’s not going to help if you’re using R17 or below….
