Thanks guys.
I didn't try compounds yet for this specific need.
I believe one can export and import a whole material library at once, 
but with compounds, you need to export each materials one by one, not?

See you!

It might be a good thing to search the archive of the list for this 
subject, as there are a few going into this.

you could merge all the compunds into one big compund and export that...

Update Referenced Material Library from any scene?

[David Saber]

Hi all!
In the doc it is said there should be a "master scene" in which all 
materials in the referenced material library should be managed. Is it 
possible to escape this requirement, and have any scene being able to 
update an external MatLib?

Thanks,
David

A master scene is kinda vital to a healthy production workflow, but imho 
you should avoid referenced material libraries.

They're flaky at best, and when things go wrong they go horribly wrong.

We tried a couple of times to use the feature, but every time ran into 
issues across scenes or renders.


but ymmv. ;-)

you can also use compounds now which can be handy
