Materials Reappearing
-
And again, I can purge and save as version 6 and the materials are still there when I open in version 6. But if I have version 6 open, purge and save they go away. I can open in version 6 and no materials but if I open it in version 7 they are there again... even after purging and saving in version 6.
This is definitely a SU7 anomaly.
I even checked my task manager to see if a ghost version of SU was running in the background and there is not.
-
Only two subsurf materials here on the laptop I'm using right now. Pretty sure it's a plugin you got.
What are the names of the materials? (toggle to list view and take a screenshot?) Maybe the names gives a clue. -
No clues there. They are from the "Colors-Named" pallet.
-
Man, this really has me stumped. SU7 is retaining this information somehow. The only plugins I have installed recently have been cutlist and cleanup model but both of those were months ago and this problem just started a couple days ago. And yes, it is getting really annoying
-
Are they always the same materials? Can you upload a model with them included? (Hope my machine doesn't get infected...
) -
You didn't happen to do anything with making it a Dynamic Component? I remember DC's have an odd way of handling materials.
-
Gai, yes they are always the same materials.
Jim, I have done nothing with DC's.
-
In another file I imported a jpeg as an image (not a material) and then later deleted it. Then I purged as normal, saved and closed. When I opened the file that image was reloaded as a material. I never exploded the image, just used it as a reference then deleted it.
-
Couldn't be as simple as opening the backup file?-) For myself, been their done that
-
I've also thought about that but to tell the truth, I didn't dare to mention it to Eric.
And then again, he uploaded the skp file here, too. -
Nope, if I open the backup I get the same thing.
What is odd is that I uploaded a file and Gai is not getting the extra materials, only me. So something on my end is going loco.I ran CCleaner and Defragler then restarted. Still not working right.
And again, it is happening on all the files I have tried, not just the one I uploaded here. -

And screw up all my toolbars.... last resort maybe
I am thinking a reinstall will do the trick.
I have to finish working on a few models first so I don't think I will do that for a few days.Grrr, this is odd.

You can fix your toolbars by un-maximizing SU. Then drag the edges of the window out so its as big as fully expanded window, then re-maximize it. You might have to fix your toolbars, but it should then stay good when you load new plugins in the future.
This is all in theory. I've seen it work on my machine, and others tried it and it worked for them, but i'd feel bad if it didn't work for you. But I'd love to know the results if you do test it.

PS I'm also going to play with the file and see if I see anythin (not likely).
-
yeah, I quicly found that I see nothing.
What happens if you download the model from here and open it?

Same thing. I have 8 non-used un-purged materials.
You know that sound you hear when the hair on the back of your neck starts to stand on end...
-
About this time we called Ghostbusters?
-
My bets on a plugin adding the materials each time you open the model...
