Import materials from an .orbx file.

Hellio!
I tried importing a collection of materials from an .orbx file.
The material section says there are new materials in the "unused material" section but they don't actually appear there.
Any suggestions? Is it even possible?

It appears that you can only import a material from an ORBX if that ORBX contains only 1 material. If there are multiple materials, the import is not working right. I will investigate to see if this can be fixed.

I'm sorry for being an idiot. I just checked the site where I got it from to find information and realized the materials were meant to be used in c4d. So i guess it wouldn't work nonetheless.
Sorry for bothering you :/

No problem. I have done some more work on this and it is not possible to import ORBX files with multiple materials - so I will add a error message "Unable to import multiple materials" when you attempt to do this.

Thanks
