Is there a way to know if an object has any faces with no material?

[Craig_Lamorte]

Hi,

I am looking for any command or anyway in python script that I can figure out if any faces on a mesh have no material attached.  I'm talking about when maya displays green because nothing, not even lambert1 is assigned to that face.  I wrote a script that can check if an entire mesh has no material attached, that was easy, but that will not catch if a material is assigned to any faces of that mesh, and others do not have any materials assigned.

Thanks

Hi

After selecting all the faces, maybe something like this? (Sorry it is in MEL, you can convert it to Python though)

//After selecting the faces

string $materialList[];
string $faceList[];
$faceList = `ls -fl -sl`;

select -cl;

for($face in $faceList) {
    select $face;
    hyperShade -smn "";
    $materialList = `ls -sl`;
    if(!strcmp($materialList[0],""))
        print($face + ": There is no material in this face\n");
}
