Mat Switcher is a powerful Blender addon designed to simplify and streamline your material replacement process in 3D modeling projects.

Replace Modes:

• Active Material Mode: This mode allows you to update the material of all meshes in your scene that share the same material as your currently selected mesh. You can choose whether it should replace the material for all objects or just the selected ones.

• Sync Material Mode: An enhanced version of the traditional link material function. It automatically updates the material of all meshes with linked materials when a new material is applied.
  

Easy and Intuitive UI

The user interface of Mat Switcher is designed to be intuitive and easy to navigate, making it accessible for both beginners and seasoned professionals.

Mat Switcher Add-on Beta Version

This version introduces experimental features that we’re excited for you to try out.

The Sync Material feature is a new addition in this beta version. This feature allows you to synchronize materials across multiple objects in your scene. With just a few clicks, you can apply changes to a material and have those changes automatically propagate to all other objects that use the same material.

How to Use Sync Material:

1. Select a mesh that has a linked material.
2. In the Sync Material tab, click on the ‘Add’ button. This will add the material to the UI list.
3. Choose the update interval (in seconds) that your PC can handle.
4. Turn on the sync function. Now, when you apply a new material to the mesh that has the material you added to the list, the add-on will link the material to all the meshes at the specified update interval.
5. Remember to turn off the sync function after usage to avoid any performance issues.

Please note that this is an experimental feature and we’re keen to hear your feedback!
