Permutating Materials Easily

I want to add a permutation of an asset to each one of them. (I'm duplicating 50 or so colored finishes and adding an embossing bump file to each duplicate.) I can do it using the following process but this will take days to do.  Is there a faster way?

 

  1. Go to material editor and select the material
  2. Duplicate it
  3. Got to the identity tab and name it (Append "- Embossed" to the end)
  4. Go to the Appearance Asset Tab
  5. Click Duplicate Asset Icon (Note how the name defaults and you can't change it.)
  6. Click Bump checkbox and browse to the bump file
  7. Click OK
  8. Go to additional settings drop down on the ribbon and click "Material Assets"
  9. Asset editor opens.  Click on the open the asset bowser icon
  10. On the box that comes up, click on "Document Assets"
  11. Search for the Asset created above (Probably has a "(2)" on the end of the name)
  12. Right click on it and click "Rename" and provide a new name (Again, append "- Embossed" to the end)
  13. Exit the asset browser
  14. click "Ok" on the asset editor

You can have the Asset Browser open at the same time you are working in the Material Browser, this might save a bit of time in switching back and forth.

 

The following image shows the command to open the Asset Browser from within the Material Browser.
