    Hi,
    Before playing the scene, in editor, i see a material in assets is opaque, but in scene i change it to transparent and doesn't change in asset, it is like if Unity is instantiating the materials once are in an object, not sure if this is a bug or a new way Unity is doing things that i didn't realize

    Is anything else possibly affecting the material (script or animation) ?
    The default behaviour when something tries to change the material of an object (using Renderer.material api) is to indeed instanciate the material, to avoid altering the asset.

    Yes, in runtime yes, but this happens in editor before playing the app

    It also happens in editor whenever an editor script tries to access Renderer.material
