    Hi everyone, I just wanted to say that the Material editor is a very powerful tool for manipulating materials and lets you manage changes in real time, this simplifies the work of modders a lot and helps a lot to save time. The only weak point in my opinion (or maybe I don't know how to do it) is that sometimes a lot of time is lost looking for the name of the material, but it is possible that in such a powerful software there isn't a system to quickly find the material?

    I think Andrea means, that is is not possible to find out which materials belongs to which object. 3dsimed does this job for me

    the materials appear in the order the meshes are listed in the SCN. A material can be on many objects though.

    This might come across as a stupid question so I’m sorry if it does but I’ve searched the internet for where I can find this Material Editor and any documentation on how to use it but can’t find anything. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
