■ "Select duplicates and press "Instance" to consolidate." - when the utility is run in a scene containing duplicates. ■ "The selected duplicates contain parameters that are animated. Animation is not supported as criteria for determining duplication so differences in the animation will be lost." - when animation is present in a set of duplicates. ■ "At least two maps must be selected in order to proceed." - when the Instance button is pressed with one or no duplicates selected. Duplicated Textures list This drop-down list contains all the maps in the scene found to be identical in every way, including texture map path and name, and initial parameter settings. The number after "Duplicated Textures" indicates how many sets were found in the scene. This list appears with the first entry visible and once active can be scrolled using the up/down arrow keys. Duplicates list When you choose a texture in the Duplicated Textures list, the software displays its duplicates in the Duplicates list, showing the map name and the name of the parent material. The number after "Duplicates" indicates how many copies were found in the scene. Textures in this list can be chosen individually. Only duplicates chosen in this list will be consolidated into the final instance if you click the Instance button. The name of the resulting instance is that of the first chosen duplicate in the list. Instance All Performs the consolidation on all duplicates in the scene regardless of selections made from the Duplicated Textures or Duplicates lists. Instance Performs the consolidation on only the duplicates chosen on the Duplicates list. Selected duplicates will disappear from this list after consolidation. If all are selected, the corresponding texture will disappear from the first list as well. Close Closes the operation at its current point. 6064 | Chapter 19 Material Editor, Materials, and Maps
