Maya Mel script to select faces with material displayed in attribute editor

sha · Oct 2017

when you select an object, the attribute editor allows you to see all the shaders assigned to it in different tabs, what I would like to do is have a script that essentially does a "select objects with materials" hypershader command on the currently active tab of the attribute editor without opening the hypershader (which is slow and cumbersome). is this possible? I havent managed to find a way to see what's currently displayed in the attribute editor via mel. thanks a lot for any info!

This command selects the objects using a certain material:

hyperShade -objects "MyMaterial";

This is probably way more than you need, but I have a fast-acting script that lets you work with materials while avoiding the Hypershade. Creating/Renaming/Assigning/Selecting materials (and much more) all in one organized location.
