This operation scans all parent materials in the project and disconnects linked normal maps. Simplifying materials improves performance by reducing unnecessary computations.

Usage Guidelines

• Dependencies: Run before geometry operations like Cluster Merge or Create Instances to avoid material instability.
• Visual Impact: Disconnecting normal maps may alter material appearance—use in scenes where these maps are unnecessary.
• Project Scale: For large projects, apply this operation per level to optimize performance and memory usage.

Best Practices

• Backup Your Project: This operation modifies material properties, so save a backup beforehand.
