Materials Extraction
-
Hi All,
Is there a way to "extract" multiple materials out of SU at the same time? I combined all the Old Sherwin Williams colors from the warehouse into one SU DWG. I want to select all materials and copy and past them into a universal SW folder so I can just go and grab the color I need without having to insert lots of colors. I almost always have the SW # needed, and just need to go pick it quickly and apply it? Looking on the SW website is such a pain to look that way!
Thanks,

The Raylectron Renderer has a plugin on it's website that extracts all materials. I'm sure I've seen another as well.

And how can you only have 104 posts Matte? I know you've posted far more than that. Maybe some were lost long ago?

Open the Materials Browser.
Activate the Model Tab [small house tab].
The pop-out menu on the right has a 'Save_Collection_As...' option.
Choose that.
Navigate to the desired folder in the main Materials folder structure; make a new folder if needed... click OK.
The entire contents of the model's materials collection is now saved as individual SKM files, externally in that folder.
Subsequently, in any other models you can now choose those materials from that very folder, as you desire, using the Materials Browser to add them to your current model's materials... -
Thanks TIG, that was exactly what I was looking for.
Krisidious, I downloaded the file hope to look at it tonight. Does it grab texture sets from web pages too? Or just from SU models? My posts are probably correct? Life has been a bit chaotic the past 6-7 years, and in survival mode I sometimes am off the internet for almost a year at a time before I get things moving again. But things can only get better from here!
Thanks again guys
Matte
