Defining a surface

JGoode — Tue, 04 Sep 2018 11:41:27 GMT

Hello,

How can I define a surface in my object?
I have a specific colour that I want as RGB values but I'm not sure how to incorporate that into creating a surface.

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

define material 😉
RGB is defined in %(0-1) not 0-255

Ah I worked it out but couldn't find the "tick" to show. Bit annoying that RGB is defined as a % and not the standard 0-255.

Thanks

befor use You have to add in 3d script:

material "declared_name" (in quotes for inline defined one - the inline defined atributes have negative indexes BTW)

When I do any producers GDL content I do a switch to use the predefined finish or the override
if finish_switch then _mat="declared_name" else _mat=parameter_name

in 3d script:
material _mat
