Scene and Surface Select item at the same time (CLOSED)

From time to time I like to work with shaders. In order to apply the shader to an object you have to select the object in the scene and then select the object in the surface tab. Is there a product out there that automatically selects the item in the surface tab when you select it in the scene tab?

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. We think it is a good one, and we are adding it to Mad Librarian.

In the next update, when you double-click a shader preset in Mad Librarian and nothing is selected in the Surfaces pane, Mad Librarian will select the surfaces of the item you selected in the Scene pane for you. If you have already selected some surfaces, it will use only those, as DAZ Studio does now.

Figures are the one exception. Selecting every surface of a figure would also put the shader on the eyes, lashes, mouth and nails. For a figure, Mad Librarian will ask you to select the surfaces you want in the Surfaces pane first.

Later we also plan an optional setting that does this for presets you apply from DAZ Studio's own Content Library. When you select an item in the Scene pane, its surfaces will be selected in the Surfaces pane automatically.

The update will not rebuild your index or rescan your library.

Did we understand what you need correctly? And if there are other features you would like to see in Mad Librarian, please let us know. We are always glad to hear ideas from people who use it.

Best regards,
The Mad Librarian team

Yes, looks like you understand me perfectly. Thank you.
