I make several MAT poses for my poser figures to change textures. Can this be done in Vue 7 complete? Basically a 1 click material to change a Vue vob textures. Thanks
bruno021 posted Thu, 30 July 2009 at 11:34 AM
You can either resave the objects with the new mat as adifferent vob, or save the material from the material editor.
ranman38 posted Thu, 30 July 2009 at 11:39 AM
Yes, but several materials change. I was hoping, and was told, there is a way to do this by saving all materials as a group maybe, and apply that to the vob to change all materials simultaneously. The person that told me didn't know how to do it, but is sure he heard there was a way.

Quote - And here the final picture. But you must always save the complete object or scene to save the material. We need a tool where I can tweak more materials at once. Specular, bump, texture filter and so on. This is possible with python scrips only. I hope someone read this and create such an needed tool.

Mazak it would help if you could be a bit more specific about what you'd like a script to do. If its a simple script I might have time to look at it but without some specifics on what you want it to do (other than tweak material settings) I'd be shooting in the dark.
Mazak posted Thu, 30 July 2009 at 5:05 PM
Thank you Impish, I know my English is weak and I can’t find always the right words.
What I want is a tool box where I can for example edit a couple materials at once.
Example:
The ship has 4-5 materials for the sails.
Material List:
Sail1
Sail2
Sail3
Sail4
Sail5
Now I want edit for all the Sail Textures and bump to Bicubic filter. Then I want all single sided and back-light to 60%. Bump strength 0.2 OK
Also a type of tool where I can save the material changes like a macro would be a good idea to. I hope this toolbox is possible with python. 
Mazak
impish posted Thu, 30 July 2009 at 5:41 PM
I'm pretty certain you can do what you want to do without a python script if you're using Vue 7. You just need to use the "edit all materials" option when you've selected all the objects or materials you want to edit. Its a great feature that was added in Vue 7 that seems to have not been noticed by lots of users. I'll try to put a quick video tutorial together to show you how to do that.
Mazak posted Thu, 30 July 2009 at 5:54 PM
No sadly that isn't correct. If I edit at once a few materials with different textures all materials change to the same texture. If I change on the sails the Bicubic filter all materials use the same texture after. So the "edit all materials" is very limited (or useless) :crying:
Mazak
ArtPearl posted Thu, 30 July 2009 at 8:56 PM
Mazak,
I dont understand your specific problem either - I just used 'edit all materials' on an object that has 41 materials, I just changed the bump depth on all of them. Then I looked specifically at several of the material and they all still have their own texture map, the only thing that changed is the new pump depth.
However, the options with this are limited - you either edit one by one or all of them. You cant edit just all the sails but not the body (or at least I dont know how to do it)
I think the OP referred to something else, and I'm not sure this could be done with python.
The problem is :
lets say I have a model of a house and it has 3 materials: walls, windows and roof.
I would like to have 2 sets of materials
A. Poor man's house: brick walls, transparent windows and red tiled roof
B. Nobility house: Marble walls, cathedral glass windows and gold roof.
I could save 2 different objects which have the same geometry but different material.
But it would be nicer if I could save just two sets of materials, and when I have the object I can apply material set A or material set B. It will automatically apply the correct material to each of the 3 material groups.
This is analogous to what poser does - If you have a new texture for a character you dont have to apply a texture to each material group(ie head, limbs, etc) individually, you just apply the whole set.
So is that possible, Impish? I havnt discovered a way yet.

impish posted Fri, 31 July 2009 at 12:57 AM
Mazak - I see what you mean about changing the texture maps' mapping that switches all the texture maps to be the same one. I don't think its a bug but it strikes me as more of an oversight with "edit all materials". I'll have a look see if I can write a script to let you switch the mappings of a set of materials in one go.
Ideally e-on (in the long term) might be able to revise edit all materials to make changing texture map mapping not affect the rest of the texture map settings. However it isn't completely useless - you can do all your bump map changes (and a lot of other changes in one go which is a lot more than you used to be able to do.
Artperl while what your asking for might be possible it would involve a fair amount of programming and at the moment I can't really persuade myself that I'm interested in it because I think there will be quite a lot of support required for people using it. I think its probably a good candidate for a commecrial script as it will be of most use allowing a set of models to be combined with a set of textures.
If the object is set up right you can edit just the sails and not other parts of the object if either the sails are separate objects (or separate selectable objects in a group) or if the materials for the objects are distinct. Simply select the materials / objects you want to edit and use edit all materials although Mazak has found a limitation on it.

silverblade33 posted Fri, 31 July 2009 at 5:46 AM
Yeah and if it could have a script that would set materials to:
bump -0.004 which is great for most objects wood stone etc (or -0.002 which is better for flesh and smoother items like metal)
Note those are negative values there.
and highlights to pure white and 10%/10% (or 20%/20%) that would work perfeclty well for most imports :)
Poser imports oftensrew up those settings dreadfully.
Ideally you'd also want, if there is no bump channel, to connect bump to the texture map. Nothing's perfectly smooth bar some metals etc.

dburdick posted Mon, 03 August 2009 at 1:16 AM
This is a much needed feature in Vue. SkinVue basically does this for Poser characters but it's not generalized to work like the Poser pz3 injector does. What I think e-on needs to do is to create the concept of a material group or collection where you could save a collection of materials into a single file and use it like a Poser injector
Mazak posted Mon, 03 August 2009 at 4:44 AM
A single mat file for multi grouped objects would be a good start! But we need also multi editing features where I can lock bitmap textures. Did you think this is possible with wxPython?
Mazak
impish posted Mon, 03 August 2009 at 7:01 AM
Mazak wxPython is just a way of building a nice interface to any sort of python script. The downside is that it takes longer to build the scripts if you use it (at least if you want them to be expandable and maintainable). I've started taking a look at doing some of what you want (and using wxPython to put a nice interface on it) but its not going to happen instantly. Life permitting I might have something next weekend but I make no promisses.

I've posted a little script to my web site that will work through all the materials assigned to a set of selected objects and switch all the image maps in those materials to bicubic mapping. Its more of a work in progress to start looking at what can be done rather than an all singing all dancing finished solution.

Hi, I would like to make all materials in an object mixed materials, then apply a new material to the new material so I can kind of toon my poser people - clothes and all in once click by applying that toon incidence shader to the second material. I could colour the toon shader white and I'm sure the tooning wouldn't look too bad.

well if you apply that standard toon material to the original material in a half and half manner (ie 50% each) , then you still get to keep your original textures to some extent and of course it works better if you use the average colour of the original material to the toon material, but even if the toon material was just white, and you applied it this way to all the materials in a scene, I have a feeling it would still look okay.

Going back to the image mapping and bump mapping requests take a look at my latest blog post which includes script to switch between the four different mapping modes for images in materials and to switch Vue’s Bump Mapping.
I'll have a think about the toon material mapping. Something using an additional material layer might be easier to do than mixing and I'd prefer a better way of doing it as angle of incidence is ok for curves but rubbish on cubes.
estherau posted Sun, 16 August 2009 at 5:29 PM
That would be cool having the toon material as an additional layer, but currently there is no way to apply this to multiple objects a once.

Here's a script that will add a new material layer to all the materials used on objects in a scene except mixed materials (I couldn't figure out a way to do them). You'll need to supply the material and make a small edit on the script to set the material to use. I've included instructions on how to change the one line that will need editing.

if firstadd==0:

Not had a chance to try in Vue, but there's one line that looks a bit suspect :-
addlayer=obj.Material(j).AddLayer((index),CartoonWhite)
should probably be addlayer=obj.Material(j).AddLayer(index, "CartoonWhite")
What you should really do is go back to the orignal line, and instead change
matname = "Default"
to matname = "CartoonWhite"

If you run it without any changes (ie with Default) does it add a layer with Vue's Default material to each of the materials?
nruddock posted Mon, 24 August 2009 at 7:36 PM
I think what may be happening is that you need to specify the full path to the material unless it happens to be already loaded, then Vue can find it by just the name.
estherau posted Mon, 24 August 2009 at 10:22 PM
here's an oddity. When I try and browse to the material in my material layers folder it doesn't seem to be there, but when I put the name of the material into the search box above, then I find it apparently in the same folder I just looked in. Vue doesn't seem to see my material that I just put there. How can I make vue see it?

Just to humour me can you:
Download the original script.
Just unzip it don't do anything else.
Start a new scene.
Add a sphere.
Apply the Red material from the Basic materials.
Run the fresh downloaded script.
If that doesn't work I think the problem has to be one of two things: a difference between Mac and PC vue or something about how you have Vue set up.

Mark,
it's most probably a path issue.
You've probably not yet read your forums mail: I've enhanced your script a bit so that you
a) can select from a drop-down box (which displays all available materials of a scene) the material to change
b) browse your PC to find the material you'd like to add as a new layer. Especially this part solves possible path issues.
Of course you have to install the free wxPython package from Cornucopia to run it.
If time allows I can complete it today or tomorrow and post it here.

Tom

Can you make a script to delete that second layer if the transparency is set to 100% that will make the hair and eyelashes and eyes better as they don't toon well with the layers because they are unaffected by alpha boost which I need to use (I can apply this alpha boost all at once to all materials).

Enter the following two lines one after the other pressing return after each line
obj=GetSelectedObjectByIndex(0)
addlayer=obj.Material(0).AddLayer(0,"Default")
Now deselect the sphere.
Then select the sphere again.
Open its material
See if it now has two layers called default.

yes - two materials called default. Just tried those two lines as you said.

Oops sorry about that. I've uploaded a new version with that fixed.

Cool - glad its working. Now we need a good material for layering to create tooning.

forgot to say - thanks so much for the script and for troubleshooting it until it worked. It will be really useful I think for my tooning, and very useful to someone who wants to make a proper tooning script too I would think.

impish - is it possible to make the script but have it not apply the top new layser to any materials that have transparency set to 100%?

quote " okay found a way to keep the texture changes I made in vue when I repose the poser person in poser."
Sadly it only seems to do it one texture at a time!!!

estherau after some thinking to try and find a way to stop the transparent materials from Poser getting a layer added I've put a new version of the scripts up. There is a new script that hopefully gets you a little further down the line by not affecting materials with a node connected to their transparency node output. It worked on a poser model I imported so hopefully it will work for you too.

thanks - will test it out later!

thankyou. It works well. I set my toon material to a transparency of 56% as well and it looks not bad and pretty quick and easy.

Okay - here's a problem. somethings like torso ends up with different highlight to arms on import. why can't vue just make arms and torso the same - even ifit's wrong it would look better if they were all the same.

r u able to make the script so it just applies to the object that is highlighted in the world browser. ie I might bring one poser person into the scene, toon him with your script then decide to import another one. I don't want person no 1 to get tooned twice.

sorry, somehow I got unsubscribed. Let me read through it all and see if I can find useful things.
First Mazak the rotating map thing would require me to completely remap my objects, so i think I will pass on that. But going forward, it may be something to keep in mind.
I think i am screwed on the scripts as I am on Vue 7 complete. But let me re-read the entire thread first. Thanks for the effort of one and all.
