Material variant isn’t working… all I know is that it’s been a few days, and there is just a red warning symbol… I have tried restarting studio, restarting my computer, going into different studios, using different variants, and still the issue has continued.
Before you ask, yes, there is a matching name, and base material in material service
In short you have deleted a texture or you have not loaded it into materialservice make sure you put the texture back into materialservice with the same name.
example:
with error:
(texture deleted) ^^^^^^
(without texture in material service)
without error:
(texture added again in material service) ^^^^
(texture added on the part)
other possible errors are that the materials have the same names
I noticed that tonight when several were missing. One pack seemed to be missing all of the materials in the pack. I think quite a few are being taken down across the various packs
unfortunately this is not the issue, i have even gone to toolbox and got completely new textures to see if that was the issue and i was sure it wasnt anyways… thanks anyways!
i am not sure if this is the issue. i was in toolbox and tried multiple materials, most do not work. i tried one named “Caution tape”, which did work. I am really confused on what the issue is since everything seems normal besides me getting an annoying error
One thing that I noticed is that lately when choosing a material variant, it does not automatically change the parent material like it used to. If my parent material is plastic for instance, if I choose something like ‘alien metal’ it will throw the error. I have to manually change the parent material to metal to get it the metal material variant to show.
