[Linux] Losing animation after material removal

[alrusdi]

In model editor. If i remove material from surface of crawler model - animation slider stopping to work. It still movable, but no animation displayed in viewport.

This is working as intended. Animation is performed on the GPU, so a material with an animation shader is required.

if you want to remove the material, you can modify the default shader to be animated, I suggest calling it something like 'default+animation'.

I've done it before by copying from the Vertex shader program of an animated shader, and used the fragment shader of the default shader (of course renaming variables that were different).
