Very useful advice. Thank you.
Great “Purge”!!
Thank you so much Wilson :)
Awesome stuff. These types of tips are incredibly useful, though often overlooked. Thank you!
Oh cool! What I always did was to save my scene, then File > Revert. Now the unused materials should be marked with a 0. Now save and do File > Revert one more time. This usually makes the unused stuff disappear. You way is obviously better! :)
Great to know!!
Well that’s awesome to know, thanks!
Would be nice to figure out a way of permanently deleting it from the file in the material screen, so that I don’t have to the outliner too. Hmmm . . .
SO i go to remove material and it’s just not an option. Like it’s not on the dropdown and I can’t seem to find any actual reason as to why
Thanks mate, really useful tip.
