Material becomes locked
« on: January 10, 2010, 06:47:13 pm »
I was trying to edit the colors of my mesh and  for some reason some of the materials are grayed out. I cant select or edit them. It's happened before and sometimes I look and they're mysteriously back but as of right now I have no way of using those colors, anyone know how to get them working again?

you probably have two materials of the same name, rename one of them and it will fix

Ah finally! thanks There were some left over materials from a previous model I built in the object pallet, I've been trying to keep everything in the global materials lately and I guess I missed these.
