I duplicated an object, but now when I try to adjust the color, or texture to one object, it automatically adjusts it's sister's color too. How do I disconnected that relation?

  • I went into Data properties, and there was no small number button next to the data name as the link above states. Only the letter F.

    How do I make it a "data single-user."...?

  • Go to second object and in materials tab press the - button – A.D. Aug 08 '15 at 18:06

  • This is related to blender's concept of Datablocks https://www.blender.org/manual/data_system/datablocks.html . Datablocks (such as meshes, materials, and animations) can be shared by multiple users. Object datablocks can be shared by multiple scenes. – Mutant Bob Aug 10 '15 at 19:22

Go to the materials tab, and click on the number that appears next to the material's name. This will make it a single user, by duplicating the material, basically meaning that they can be edited separately.
