Material variant not working

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

Any help would be appreciated.

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:

image
(texture deleted) ^^^^^^

image
(without texture in material service)

without error:
image
(texture added again in material service) ^^^^

image
(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.

using ‘material manager’ seemed to have resolved the issue, however the drop down box in properties remains non-functional
