    Hi guys,

    As the title says, I'm having an issue where after a saved gameobject is de-serialized it will lose any material/shader effect until I manually expand the material window in the editor.

    Is there anything I can call to refresh all the materials?



    Thanks!

    Yes, i'm working with the standard shader =)

    I've taken a look at the Materials reference you linked above but I can't see what I might call to set this, unless I were to just call any of the set methods?

    Thanks for the reply!

    Are these material assets stored in your project or being created procedurally? If they are created by a script then you need to enable the keywords for the areas that are used, e.g if you add a normal map then you need to enable the keyword _NORMALMAP in the material. If you are unsure you could just go through the material and check if a normal map exists, if so enable keyword, etc.
