C4D Material Transfer
polycounter lvl 6
Hello all,
I'm very new to C4D and looking to do what I would normally consider a pretty easy operation. I want to transfer material assignments from one C4D file to another based on object names. I don't mind scripting it out if necessary, but I'm also not a huge python coder. So something like this:
File #1:
Mesh named "body_25" is assigned to a material named "plastic".
File #2:
Has a mesh named "body_25" that does not have any assigned materials. Also has a material named "plastic" present in the file.
Dream script/operation:
First runs through the materials in file #1 and saves the assignments in a txt document.
Reads the txt document in file #2 and applies the materials to meshes accordingly.
There could also be an easier way of doing this than through scripting. As I said, i'm fairly new to C4D.
Any help is appreciated!
