On Demand Remap for Material Assignments

[ludwigseibt]

Describe the bug 💬

It would be nice to have the same On Demand Remap feature as the FBX importer has.
This often comes in handy, when you want to share materials between seperately imported glTF assets. For example a repeating material that is not unique to one object.

I might invest time to implement this myself. Could someone point me to the right place to get started with this feature?

Thanks!

Steps to reproduce 🔢

It could work the same way as in the FBX importer:

1. Import an object
2. Go to Import Settings > Materials
3. Hit "On Demand Remap" to automatically look for materials in the project that have the same name as the material slot on the imported object and setup the material remapping.

Material remapping is already part of the import inspector – I assume you didn’t see that?

Or do you only mean the automatic finding of materials based on some heuristics?

[ludwigseibt]

Yes, I am talking about the automatic remapping of materials that are already present in the project. In the FBX Importer that Feature is called "On Demand Remap".
