Change Parent Material of Multiple Material Instances at Once

Hey there Ares9323,

Don’t get me wrong, I love your plugin, I just posted my conclusion because it might be helpful to someone here.

Personally, your plugin has helped me more than you know and I don’t really care about having to remove the asset before reparenting.

Take care!

Also found solution for this- firstly reparent material to “None”, and then update, and set material instance parent. It will dump temp files.

Stumbled upon this and looks like it’s the perfect solution for me, but I don’t have the Scripted Actions menu showing up even after I load the plugin and restart. How to get that line to appear?

Thanks!

Hey, just wanted to add my thanks to @Ares9323 for making this handy plugin available for free.

I wanted to show a tiny change just in case it is helpful for anybody. I had been looking for a way to bulk edit physical materials since these do not transfer from parent material.
It is easy to adjust Ares’s utility to do that:
just adjust the code like this and it works

@hugo.jackson
double check that you added the UPLUGIN file to your plugins folder in the project (outside of content folder) and then restart unreal.
