C4D: Copy / Paste Materials script

Working on a CAD project it happened that sometimes I needed to re-import the model with different settings and transfer the materials over. Doing it by hand is both time consuming and prone to errors, so I made a script for it.
This script copies the material tags from one hierarchy to another. It is named based, so it doesn’t require the objects to have the same hierarchical structure, it should work as long as the objects have the same name. It can work if multiple objects have the same name, as long as they’re in the right order.

To use it, first select the object to copy the materials from, then select the object to paste the materials to, and run the script.

If you find any bugs let me know and I’ll try to fix them.

Limitation: Currently it will not transfer selection tags, this could be added in a later version of the script.
