Summary

I use ID mapping to texture in Substance Painter and it is easiest if I delete all materials on export from Blender as FBX. I modified the existing FBX exporter to add an option to delete materials on export so that if I need to make changes to the model I don't have to undo/redo materials every time.

This is a very simple patch, any questions please contact me.
