Well im currently on a project deadline and Im in the process of throwing some materials on some models.. but my problem is that the materials are being given to the children too and I do not want that becuase the children all have there own... and since the models have a large complex system of parents/children.. unparenting/re-parenting them would be very time consuming.

Is there anyway arround this?:eek:

Start from the bottom of the heirchy and work you way up to the top.
Use the outliner and just drag and drop the shaders through that.
:)

you can also select the parent object, then hit the down arrow, it will deselect the children.
