Anyone have a maya script that selects faces with no material assigned.

I would like to select a model, than click a button and have it select all the faces on the model that do not have materials assigned to them. Anyone written this yet?

Well, what you need to do is go into Hypershade, select all of the materials you have on the object, then in Hypershade go to edit -> Select Objects with Materials.

Go back into perspective, go to face mode, hold shift and click-drag your entire mesh (so it deselects your current selection and selects what has not yet been textured.

Hope that makes sense.. I'll work on a script for it, but until I can that will work. GL.

That doesn't work with multiple materials unless something has changed since maya 2008?

Allert

it does work with maya 2009, just marquee select all your materials, go to edit/select objects with materials (in the hypershade menu)

Yeah Malcolm, it works in 2008. It will work with multiple materials. It doesn't work if you just hold right click over the material and select objects with material. You have to do it in the Edit menu.

Sorry my bad I was using the right click select objects with materials. You must use it through the edit menu. Thanks a lot!

Seaseme

no problem
