This operation reassigns material instances using virtual textures to optimized parent materials, reducing shader complexity and ensuring consistent behavior.

Usage Guidelines

• Dependencies: Run before Geometry Plugin operations to ensure material stability. Recommended early in the pipeline.
• Asset Management: New reference materials are saved in the Content/User/Materials folder. Ensure sufficient storage and maintain a clean folder structure.
• Material Consistency: Verify that reparenting aligns with your project's visual requirements.
