But.. Is 24 the maximum number of materials you can have? Certainly not.
What actually happens if I select a material, then click “X“? (reset map to default setting)

A window will appear with 2 choices:

material-editor2

1) If we choose the 1st option:

  • you reset all the material parameters
  • the object in the scene continues to be connected to this material
    (Just note that the box in the viewport suddenly turn gray)

2) If we choose the 2nd option:

  • object and material will be “disconnected”
  • the material in the slot will resetted and associated with nothing
  • the object in the scene will preserve the material that was before the cancellation

To create new materials we usually choose option 2, put temporary aside a material to create a new one.

Get Material -> Scene -> Double-click the material you want back
