  • 1.  Changing a Material's Diffuse Property via Scripting

    Posted 09-21-2022 19:51
    I am pretty sure this is possible, but not too sure how to go about it.
    I have a Config Scene with 3 text objects (one for Hue, one for Saturation, one for luminance - or RGB).
    I want to have a process where my operator can input a value into each text field in hopes to change the color of a Material. (Ex: If they want a purple they could input the following, H: 252, S: 87, L: 84).
    Then, when the scene is pushed online, it would change the material's diffuse color. As a result, this would also change every scene that material is being used in. 

    ***Or is it possible to do one text object and type in a hex code (Ex:#421CD6) instead of HSL or RGB?

    I have looked in the SDK at the xpMaterial but I do not see anything along the lines of "SetColorDiffuse".  I do see a ColorDiffuse Property but it says it is read only. 

    Any thoughts on this?

    You can achieve it via Visual Logic if that works for you.

    You can also use dynamic materials and marcos. 
    For example this is red typed directly into dynamic material  #AARRGGBB

    And then this is doing the same but using a text macro which could then be published.
