Graphics

Hi,

I've got multple quads in my scene with multiple materials, which are already ready in the material manager.

How can I create a script wich I can use in the sequenser to show only one of those quads?

For Example:
"1" = material1,
"2" = material2,
etc..

I wasn't sure if you wanted to control which quads are visible or what material was assigned to a quad, so I did both! I used visual logic instead of scripting though, much faster!

Controlling the Quad's visibility:


Text1 would be a # equal to 1-4 and it would set the visibility of the quads. You could either type this on or use a user input control to make 1-4 a selection for the operator. Check out XPression U for a video on User Input Controls.

There's probably a cleaner way to do the blocks, but this works.


Controlling Quad's material:



Setting the Text1 text to 0 - 3 selects different materials to be applied to the face of the quad. Could use a dummy/default material for index #0 if you don't want to use 0.

Don't forget to enable the blue button at the top of the viewport when working with visual logic!

Great, it works!

Another question. Can I also replace the input selector with something else, so I can type some text in stead of numbers?
