    Hi all,

    I have a scene with a bunch of models, each with seperate materials buried deep in the hierachy. Is there any way to multi select all of the materials used in the hierachy (without individually opening each tree)so that I can delete them?

    Basically i’m trying to render a glass version of the scene, but when I just delete the materials used in the material editor, Cinema replaces them with a default material which is overiding my root “glass” material…

    I hope this is clear.. Any ideas ?

    Cheers,

    Andy

    In the Material Editor
    -right-click on the material you want delete
    -choose Select texture tags/Objects

    Click the Object Editor _menu_ (don’t click the OE window background or you loose the selections you just made)
    -hit delete.
