Anim8or v1.0 Discussion Forum / A Way to Change File/Object Assignment of Materials
« on: June 15, 2024, 02:19:46 pm »
So many times I've made a texture and not realized how much I'd need it more throughout my project beyond the first object I made with it. But there's no way to easily change it from "Object" to "File" without remaking the texture, or perhaps editing the code of your Anim8or file if you're clever.
It would be nice to have a checkbox or dropdown within the material dialog that can allow you to switch the assignment at any time.
Alternatively it would be cool to be able to copy/paste materials, not only as a way to move a material between File and Object, but to make it easier to make a new material based on an existing one without having to redo all the settings from scratch. But I imagine that would be a lot harder to implement.
