Naming materials
I saw that there is a very old (2005) thread about being able to name materials. I really would like to see this feature implemented because having to deal with synthetic names in other apps (e.g. Vue) is not my idea of confortable workflow .
I read on that post that file format changes were required but if I save an .ac file with 6.2 I see lines like MATERIAL "ac3dmat0" rgb 0 0 0 amb 0.2 0.2 0.2 emis 0 0 0 spec 0.2 0.2 0.2 shi 128 trans 0 which seems perfectly ok for custom names (MyGreatBlack instead of ac3dmat0)... am I missing something? Bye!!! |

Re: Naming materials
If you go into File > Settings > Advanced and checkbox Enable Material Name Editing you can give your materials custom names in the materials editor.
