organizing duplicates
Hi,
I'm assembling a scene that uses lots of duplicate objects. I copy and paste, and this works just fine. However, my materials list is full of a duplicate material for each copy of the object. Is there some way I can copy objects so that they will refer to just one set of materials in the list? And then I could change the copied objects materials all at once instead of one at a time?
(example: these objects are windows and frames. I decide I want to change the transparancy or reflection. Do I have to do each one individually?)
Thanks
