Blender duplicate material

I also noticed that everytime I create a line a material is added.

I need to copy an object with duplicate data for both material and its textures so I can independently change a texture mapping of the copy without changing that of the original. Any help would be most appreciated. Duplicate Textures. I think that is the failing at the bottom of your flowchart there, that the copied material is using the same texture as the original material. Thank you. I must need clarification on what the user pref Duplicate Data options actually do. In the Texture Panel, beside the name of the Texture, there should be a number there of how many users have that Texture - clicking it will make a single user copy just like you do with the material itself.

Sometimes you want to use the same material on another object and only make a small change to it. Rather than this change affecting all linked objects, we need a new material with all the settings of the old material. They were all the same, except for the colour of the chocolate.

This is the traditional method for creating duplicates of your objects in Blender, but did you know that there is an alternative method to duplication as well as the ability you copy and paste models and even duplicate the individual vertices, edges, and faces of a specific object. Sometimes you will be creating scenes that require using the same object multiple times. I could just add them in or I could use the duplicate tool.

Some clever developer should think of making something with this logic part of the native engine code , I mean this kind of material duplication is a problem in other applications as well blender im looking at you , i have a python snippet to get rid of those as well. Can you show the full node tree and properties panel window then? I wrote this a while back and have not visited the code again. Again thanks. Maybe I can figure out how to reproduce your setup.
