Get All Scene Materials prompt

Get All Scene Materials prompt

In Slate Material Editor, I like to get materials off of selected objects.

However, 'Get All scene Materials' is right below the 'Get selected material' button.

When working on a BIG scene, it can get particularly annoying when I misclick and have to wait for a long time before a couple hundred materials are collected.

 

Maybe a prompt would be a good idea.
something like "your scene contains a lot of materials. getting all materials may take a long time. continue?"

 

could save me hours... 😄

Yes! I also have been annoyed by my unlucky missclicks on this button several times... A prompt BEFORE trying to load thousands of materials is definitely a good idea 🙂

Archiving as this isn't something we would look into currently. Most of the slow down from from the SME trying to render all the materials. You can hit ESC or turn off rendering temporarily in order to speed that up and then remove the unwanted materials from the view.

Thanks.

However, I don't feel the slowdown is caused by the rendering of thumbnails though.
The slowdown happens before anything shows up in the material view, so I don't think there is any rendering going on.
