Multiple materials - lost material?

Blender Courses Talk
#1

I’ve been unable to recreate the problem of losing materials with 0 object assignments. Maybe not a bad thing but I assume I am not following the instructions correctly to recreate the issue… tried 3-4 times. Basically, I can recreate the situation of having materials with 0 assignments to any objects but after saving, following by reverting to last saved, these 0 assigned materials are retained. I want to avoid the potential of losing work creating a material so replicating the issue you’ve demonstrated in the video would be helpful to me, do you have any idea where I may be missing something? Thanks. Tom

BTW, I’ve been reviewing tutorials from many vendors and your videos are excellent!

Sometimes simply reverting doesn’t cause them to be lost, try saving twice and then using the revert command.

Alternately, are you confirming that you want to revert the file? I had the same issue when I was introduced to the concept and eventually realized that I was clicking on revert and moving the mouse away before I realized there was a confirmation message.

Thank you for detailed reply, it was helpful! The reason I couldn’t recreate the example scenario was as you suggested; I was moving my pen away before the confirmation message appeared.
