Hi,

is there a way to prevent materials from getting flushed by 'remove unused materials', when they are used in a virtual hierarchy ?

I have a generator Object with some link fields for textures. If the textures are only in use there (and not applied to a 'real' non-generator object), 'remove unused materials' will remove those mats from the doc..

do i have to flag those materials myself, when they are used by ma generator ?

thanks,
Daniel

The MSG_MULTI_MARKMATERIALS message should help you. This is also important if you want to copy generators with internal materials (also across different documents).

There is an example in the SDK docu, see the MarkMaterials structure.

cheers,
Matthias
