Optimize All

The Mat_Oper->Optimize All command in the Matter module optimizes the use of saved materials in a scene by merging those that are similar and sharing them between the models. Before the operation is completed, each material's parameter and texture is examined for exact equivalence to others in the same scene.

When you choose the Mat_Oper->Optimize All command, the number of materials merged is displayed in the status line.

Use the Schematic window with the Matter mode selected to view the results of this operation.

Note:

Materials with shaders (material, volume, shadow) are not optimized, however, animating materials are optimized if the function curves are the same.
