  • How to duplicate a material along with an object

    Posted by Fernando Bittar on February 6, 2017 at 4:25 am

    I have a simple rig that has a material assigned to some object down the hierarchy.
    The rig has user data with color parameters that are tied to the material’s color parameters.

    Basically this rig will need to be copied in certain scenes. I want the material to be duplicated too when I copy and paste the object.

    That behavior used to work before: https://vimeo.com/28351230
    But now I can’t seem to replicate that.

    I’m on version R17.

    Any help appreciated.

    if you save an object with ‘Save Object Preset’ then load it (with Load Object Preset) materials will come in duplicated too
