Material manager

[lucioing]

Hi Ahmet!
There are two issue with material manager:
1) 'remove unused material' doesn't works
2) if I drag a material over another, say B over A pressing (alt) key, I do replace the material A, using B, for EACH object that are mapped using A. Well, it doesn't works. But happen exactly the inverse: if I drag B over A, A remove B.

Thank you

L.

PS Maybe, the following, isn't an error... but if I create a material, using a picture I've already used and imported into the project folder, well, it duplicate the same picture...

(rel 2.06.1 macos)

Hi,
1-we have a alternative command for this
2-It looks like a normal behaviour. Could someone warn me if it's wrong.

I have not encountered those problems:
1. to remove unused material works fine always in Octane menu and Cinema menu
2. the drag and drop works regularly Alt+ and drag, no matter the direction to left or to right.

I have instead encountered a boring problem with the mix materials, If I want to change the coordinates X Y Z Cinema doesn't accept the input, you can move the objects only dragging the axis.Cinema responds regularly if I delete the mix material (is the same for R15 or R16)

haven't notified this behaviour. Could be related with other plugins? Can you give me a sample scene to reproduce here?
Thanks for feedback

Hi Aoktar here a very sample scene, two cubes. If a Mix material is applied to an object Cinema doesn't accept input in position fields X Y or Z. you can move the object only dragging the coordinate symbol of the selected object.
In the scene there are two cubes and two Mix Material applied, the mix material green look out the input in coordinates field (for each cube), if you remove from cube the Green Mixmaterial the input filed unlook and you can input a new coordinate.
Also if you apply at the cube a new mix material without specify the two materials inside the problem occours. If you remove the material from the object the input of new coordinate is accepted.
There isn't any other plug-in than Octane and OctaneExport.

Hi augdalmo,
I did a capture. Cannot see any problem. Are you on windows? What's your versions? Can you show me a screen capture?
