if I have two objects with two different materials (but same material name), how can I see the difference on the two materials… does they have a creation ID or something that seperates two materials with the same name ?
In general it’s bad form to have 2 materials named the same, since they are in fact completely different materials. Under what situation do you want this to be the case, and what specific info are you after regarding the materials?

I’m in the progress of creating a render layer script. A free script to easy the task of rendering out in layers etc.
Since it is for “everyone”, then it also has to take care of the situations, where a user might have two objects, with the same matName…
I totally agree, it is bad to name the materials with the same name… but If it is possible, then I like to solve this Material Name problem, so I don’t end up with a ton of limits in the end.
Is this possible… how can I see the difference between to materials with the same name, and how can I tell what material belong to what object?
Ah. Then I’m afraid I don’t know of a way to query materials by anything except their name.
