@Mentalist My first suggestion is to start with a full list, even if the replacement is the same as the original, go into blenders python console and type bpy.data.materials.keys() to get a complete list of material names. The other option, is after the second for add if slot.material.name in matname.keys(): to only do the last command if a substitute exists. You could also put the last statement into a try block to catch errors and keep going, you only need pass in the except section.

One thing I noticed and want to modify, is that while an object with materials (for example) R,G,B will get replaced with R_new, G_new, B_new... if an object has R,G_new, B, then material "B" won't get replaced because "G_new" isn't a match (it's only looking for R,G,B and stops at a non-match). Can you please teach how to skip over non-matches? | |

A good start would be spending an hour or two doing a getting started tutorial like the official python tutorial. Yes matnames is a dictionary, it uses the name of the old mat as the key to retrieve the name of the new mat. Everything between {} is the contents of the dictionary, adjust the old name and new name on each line to match what you have.
