I’ve always had a problem with my materials producing multiple instances but it’s becoming a serious problem. I just removed nearly 1500 instances of a physically based material.
When I started a new render they all came back again. Any solution to this?

Thanks Pascal. Have used that command, have used purge command, have tried remove instancing. The problem seems to be mostly relate to PBR textures. I imported one surface with a PBR and gained over 800 instances of PBR’s. I can delete them but if I delete the one that’s attached to the part I lose the part.
This may or may not be relevant. The PBR I imported is a mesh texture. I applied it to four surfaces. When I edit the texture it changes only on the surface selected. Is it possible the texture is importing a multiple of instances to create the mesh? I do have the same instancing issue with non PBR textures but not hundreds of instances.
Hi @tgra ,
Can you share what you imported causing the duplicates? I’d like to take a look and file any bug if needed. Email tech@mcneel.com please if you can’t post publicly.
