Import materials error

Hi,

When I select an object in the scene and want to edit the settings in Inspector tab then click on Materials button I only get the option to tick the box Import Materials and all other settings are missing. See attached jpeg.
What am I doing wrong or is this a bug?
Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Arvid

 

I have this too its really frustrating

 

Did you find a solution? I tried to reinstall the program but I get the same error. Is there any reset to default options so I can get the parameters back?

 

(guess)... Looks like a model made from multiple objects with variod materials applied to them. Maybe when you first select the model it's selecting the top node, which would be the group node, not a particular mesh/material. Try selecting one of the meshes under the group node in the outliner, or maybe after selecting the model/group doubling clicking may then select the nearest mesh under the mouse.... Again just a guess.

 

Isn't that the same issue - remaping materials during multimaterial FBX file import results in crash - as discussed in this thread in 2018.3 beta forum?
The bug report No 1095663 was filled, unfortunately without any response from Unity team yet.

 

I'm having the same issue with Unity 2018.2.15f1. When I enable "Import Materials", the panel is blank and my console gets flooded with:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

I guess I get to write my own model importer inspector now. This is pretty close to Microsoft level of suck.
