In Blender, you can quickly separate objects by their materials using the "Separate by Material" command. This is useful if you want to quickly create different objects or meshes for each material, for example, for different colors or textures.

To use this command, select all the objects or meshes that you want to separate, then go to the "Object" menu and choose "Separate by Material". Blender will create a new object for each unique material, and assign that material to the new object.

If you want to keep the original objects or meshes, you can use the "Duplicate" command first, then separate by material. This way, you'll have two copies of each object, one with the original material, and one with the new material.

Q: How do you separate objects by material in blender?

A: There isn't a built in way to do this, but you can easily achieve it with a few scripts or add-ons. One way is to use the Separate by Material add-on:

With your object selected, go to the Add-ons tab in the User Preferences (Ctrl+Alt+U) Enable the Separate by Material add-on In the 3D View, press Space and type "Separate by Material"

Another way is to use the Separate Objects by Material script:

In the 3D View, press Space and type "Install Add-on" Navigate to the downloaded script and select it Enable the checkbox next to the script's name

In the 3D View, press Space and type "Separate Objects by Material"
