  • $\begingroup$ just to clarify: if you have 2 (or more) materials (e.g. "cube.6" and "sphere.4") that use the same image texture ("wood.png") then the first material ("cube.6") will be renamed to "wood", and it will be assigned to both objects (cube->wood and sphere->wood). The other material "sphere.4" will become unused and will be discarded, right? Keep in mind that the materials just share the same image texture ("wood.png") but they can have different nodes and different settings for the Principled BSDF (e.g. "cube.6" can have roughness 0.8 and "sphere.4" can have rough. 0.9 but both use "wood.png"). $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Hi, that is correct. If same texture is used, same material should be used. There are no extra settings at this point. All materials have everything same. I need to rename all materials to the texture name and if the material with the same texture already exists, I need to apply/change the same material in that existing slot. $\endgroup$
