Material Override¶
A popup for the view layer's material override. Click any material in the list to render everything with it (clay, wireframe, UV checker…), and click Clear to return to the objects' own materials. Use it for lookdev passes or quick clay renders without touching your materials.
Hotkey: Not bound by default — assign a key in Preferences › iOps › Keymaps, or run View Layer Material Override from operator search.
Panel¶
| Element | What it does |
|---|---|
| Current Override | Shows the active override material; Clear removes it |
| Material list | Click a name to set it as the override; the active one is ticked |
| Fancy Mode | Switch the list to a grid with large previews |
| Refresh Previews / Generate All Previews | Rebuild missing or stale material thumbnails |
| Clear Warning | Dismiss the notice shown after a render was started with an override active |
Tips¶
- The override applies to the current view layer only, so you can keep a clay layer and a beauty layer side by side.
