Hello,

I was hoping someone could help me with a script. I need a way to change toon ids easily with a colour picker as opposed to manually calculating a colour?

Stewer confirmed that to calulate it from RGB or more like hex numbers u needed to do the following:-  

(RED * 65536) + (GREEN * 256) + BLUE

so pure green 00FF00 = 65280. 

So is it possible for the script to let you use a colour picker and then internally do the calculation for the ID? I want to use the Toon Ids as an object Id for postwork and need a way to quickly change colours in the mat room to match what I need.

Regards,

Didi

Is this the toonid that determines if there is a line between the two materials ?

I dont quite follow what you are trying to do because the id for lines between materials does not affect the actual colors. 

 

what I do if I need to use a specific set of colors is  save them in the pallette so I can just click on them as needed.

 

 

 

 

With PoserPro, when you save psds out you can select toonids in auxilliary options under render settings.

When it renders out, they come in various shades of blue usually. I want to be able to set the colours up in the material room so that when I choose to render with toonids, I can select colours better in photoshop through the psd file.

This is an example of what I mean. This is the layer which poser renders out for ToonId. I use it to select bits and pieces to adjust better when doing postwork.

So I'm looking for a way to pick the colours quicker by being able to select whatever colour I need for whichever object or part.

Here is a simple version :)

 

(Hope it's ok to post to a freebie somewhere else)

Thank you very much Basil!!!!! I'll try it out.

I was wondering though if your Advanced Shaders would work also? Like the partial shaders so you can save different colours out...

Just tried it with props and also a scene with V4, hair and clothes. It works beautifully for what I need.

Thank you again! :D

You're welcome :) And Advanced Shaders could do this... But I think the attached script above is more easy to use... :)

Yeah you're right the script is way easier. Now if only we could get down to materials level...

But seriously...thank you! :O)

Fine tunning materials? Ok! As soon I'm back home, I'll do the script for materials level :)
