Submitted by 3DV on Sat, 2012-05-26 06:37

Is there a script to select all objects in a scene that don't have a material applied yet?

dont know about that , but as far as I know its "geometry" mean its filtering by only geometry object, but how about editable spline, helper....not to mean to offend but he said "select all objects in a scene that had no material" may be he mean all object including spline, helper or something like that. But mey be youre correct in geometry more faster, im not script master, just learning maxscript few month ago with no foundation from scripters or so whatever corelating with script.

Best regard

Cheers!

No need for that. Just use this

select (for o in objects where canconvertto o Editable_Mesh and o.mat != undefined collect o)

Hi fajar,
Probably would be faster for larger scenes if you use "geometry" instead of "objects"
