Hi guys,
I have just started to use Blend4Web and I have a problem with the materials and the API.
I have a blend file with 6 materials and 3 objects, these 3 objects have a material each (so I have 3 unassigned materials).
In Blender I can switch the material using this simple menu.
![]()
How can I do the same thing with Blend4web api?
First of all I have checked the Json file and inside there are only 3 materials (the assigned ones), is it possible to export all the material library?
Second I didn't find any api command to assign a material to an object, I have found only commands to edit the materials. The only command interesting is inherit_material but it moves a material from a object to another.
In the meanwhile I have also done also some tests, do you know why this command:
return material_list an empty array? The object test has an assigned material.
Thanks.

var material_list = b4w_materials.get_materials_names(object);
console.log(material_list);
