reset matid

[super gnu]

is there a quick way to reset the material IDs (effects channel) of a scene? im setting up new masks for an old scene, but there are already matids scattered around the hundreds of materials. dont want rogue things appearing in my masks, but also dont want to check all the materials manually..

There is a way to reset the Material ID for all scene materials >
*) open the Slate material editor
*) go to menu > Material > Get all scene materials
*) select all materials and change the Mat ID to zero, for an example.

so, the slate material editor does have a use after all

I often switch between Compact and Slate editor, especially for scene debugging.
