Object name to Material name

Submitted by polbolotsoro on Fri, 2023-07-21 07:15

Hi, I need help creating a script. I want the script to create a Standard Legacy Scanline Material for the objects selected in the scene. The material names should match the object names, including objects that have multiple material IDs/names.

Thank you Kostadin!

There's a script that could rename materials by object name, but it's too old and displays an error when multiple objects are selected. :(

Hi

If you need to rename existing material, you can use this :

for o in selection where o.material != undefined do o.material.name = o.name
