I'm after a plugin/info for max 5 that specifically shows the user every poly in the scene where a specific material is being used. The scene itself contains many individual meshes so i can't simply use id's and the material editor.

I'm trying to optimise...

Thanks.

You can right click on every mesh and go to properties and see which material is being applied, or you can select objects by material and then make selections sets out of those to sort out where your materials are applied.
Select by material is under options on the material editor.

Cheers Chris.

The material option is dire.. just tested it.. 2 different multisubs.. both containing the same texture in a different id slot.. both on different meshes... and it wont select both meshes when i select object by material
