"Delete All Unused Appearances and Textures" not working. Also I can't manually delete Appearances

I'm having an issue with Visualize that I never recall having in Bunkspeed. For whatever reason I'm unable to clean up my loaded Appearances (Materials) in my scene. In the past, Bunkspeed loaded materials in the project file used up performance and memory , so the more loaded materials the less responsive your project was. Is anyone else unable to use the "Delete All Unused Appearances and Textures" (right click on Appearance panel)? I have a large project with tons of materials I need to purge from my loaded materials since they aren't being used but I can't delete them.

Correct Answer

Hi Kenny, this was a bug we have found and already fixed. This fix will be included in our first service pack, launching at the end of July.

We have noticed that when using a new Visualize file (not an old Bunkspeed file), this problem occurs much less. It has been difficult to pinpoint why, but rest assured, we have squashed this bug

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the info! This was with a project made completely in Visualize but I've seen the behavior in both legacy ShotPro projects and Visualize projects.

I can't recall but how big of an impact of performance does the loaded materials have? I have a massive mining vehicle project that I'm working on and I'm debating on using it in Shot Pro rather than Visualize if it means I can purge my loaded materials to keep my project tidy and without a big performance hit.

There's only a big performance hit if all the materials have texture maps, and large texture maps at that. One of the biggest memory hits are the environments...especially if you have several large (8k wide) HDRs. And even then you need a bunch of HDRs for the performance hit to be noticeable.

I usually try to keep the number of environments to less than 10 per project, just to be sure.
