The Material Palette is a tool designed to streamline the modelling work flow by reducing the need to use of the hyperShade  for assigning established shaders to objects.


Each button on the palette supports 4 actions

  • Shift Click - select a object or a face and shift clicking inside  a button create  a shortcut to that material.
  • Click -  select a object and a click the button  to apply that shader .
  • Ctrl Click  -  select all objects with that shader applied to them
  • Alt Click -   select the shader in the button swatch.



3 new quick select functions have also been added

  • ShadSel  - expands a face selection to all adjoining shaders sharing the same shader
  • Angle60 - expands the face selection  to adjoining faces within 60 degrees of the current face.
  • AxisSel - selects all adjoining faces facing XZY based on the first selected face.
