Auto naming of materials and textures

If you can't be bothered to enter a name for your newly created material, click on the little button with an icon resembling a car next to the name field in the shading/materials panel on the Links and Pipelines tab. This is the 'auto' button which gets Blender to choose a name. It works for textures too.

That's a very useful timesaver. Never used it, until now :-)

Thanks.

Interesting!

The site doesn't look familiar, but the output is approximately what I was thinking of.

I'd lov to upgrade this color name list.

I'm using it since I know blender and I
can tell that it's really cool to use
...but lack many many names for different tint

...but it's still a really cool function :wink:

It does have Applecare on it so it's covered for another 2 years.

Every little bits helps.

Unfortunately too few software developers fully understand this statement.
