[Plugin] Remove group materials, leave geometry material
-
Must be other issues. It's really frustrating that there is no parsing progress bar. Or, the ability to have it only have to parse once. Seems like since it is just storing UV data, that as long as you don't move the camera, you should be able to reuse the same data. Nothing is more frustrating than having to wait for every test render.
On another note, I tried to open SS's Snowberry model (which took about 5 minutes to open) and render with VfSU (with no materials)......after 30 minutes of parsing, i just gave up.

But you need to parse the whole lot again anyway to check if anything has changed.
The next version should see some improvements though.

That model is up in the millions in face count isn't it?

Do you still need to do this with the new Vray? (v1.488) I seem to encouter problems when with Vray 1.488 after running this script (not 100% this was the culprit)
Cheers

No - Only with 1.05.30 and older. The new one might actually be faster if you use group/component materials.

I can not run the remove CG materials plugin, is the link broken or corrupted?

[FEATURE REQUEST]
It's a useful plugin, until I found it, I had to remove all materials from selection using This Plugin, then reassign materials only to geometry inside group/component -often I have different materials on faces.
I would like some features to this plugin: Now, with so many plugins, the Plugins Menu gets really crowded, so submenus are welcomed. So, I was thinking if you could add a feature to this plugin to remove all materials, something like this:
REMOVE MATERIALS
>Remove CG Materials
>Remove ALL Materials
In this way, instead of having two entries for those two plugins, I would have one single menu with two child options.Also, if the inputbox could be disabled, to speed-up the usage. I never replaced CG material using the inputbox, so for me is just a unnecessary mouse click
Actually, I'm curious if anyone uses that feature.Thank you.

The link to the rapid share download doesn't work, can some post the script?
