is there a script to count number of materials in the scene?

[Morbid Angel]

I got a scene with what seems like a thousand shaders in it. Multisubmats with materials inside, and I am just curious if there is a script that can count how many materials including submaterials are in the scene?

This should give you a good estimate:

unique_scene_materials = #()

fn collectMaterials material_list = (
    for m in material_list do (
        if (classof m == Multimaterial) then collectMaterials m.materialList
        else appendIfUnique unique_scene_materials m
    )
)

collectMaterials sceneMaterials

print (unique_scene_materials.count as string + " materials in the scene.")

Note it doesn't count Submaterials as I don't consider them materials per se, delete the "else" if you want them to be added.

Cheers

I used a script called material lister available on scriptspot

it does crash if you have a ridiculous amount of materials but its got a nice interface for finding different mat types
