I'm wondering if there's a good way to change the color of a texture map in the material room, for rendering. Changing the texture map itself every time I want a color variation is time consuming, and also takes up a lot of space especially if I do quite a few variations.

I am not a super expert in the material room, but I know the basics, and some of the advanced nodes. I do know that just changing the diffuse color is not a good idea, since it just seems to create an overlay of the color chosen (which can look good for certain things)

Let's say I have a texture image map with mostly blue and cyan shades in it, and I want to take it more towards the purple spectrum. Is this possible using any of the nodes?

Any insight in the matter would be appreciated. :)

I'm not completely sure but I suspect the color math node would be the way to go, possibly the HSV node as well.

Sorry I can't be more helpful than that :)

Nodes for Dummies Thread - Color Shifting

Another thread:

How to change skin color - selective color shifting

Those two threads seem to have exactly what I am looking for. Thanks a bunch bb!

I want to add these links to the Wiki.  Are they useful in all versions of Node-Using Poser, or is there a specific "From this version forward" I should post as a caveat?

Oh, awesome suggestion Jen!  And I'd like to know about potential version numbers too. Very useful to know when people are making mp items or freebies.

/nod   My goal is to have a central location for all knowledgy goodness.  Because, seriously, even if our search engine were amazingfantasticawesome, it'd still be hard to find everything :/

Yeah, especially when a lot of stuff is hidden in forum threads. I did search for tutorials both here and on Google before resorting to the forums.

Right?  Like, a conversation about too-pink cheeks will evolve into a full-fledged skin shader tutorial, with no one using the words "Skin Shader Tutorial", so searching for it won't turn it up.

All - it's simple color math that is identical since Poser 5.

Rawk.  Gonna be added :)  

Great to know!

Also what would be good to know, if the information is available anywhere of what has changed in the material room in each version of poser  from 5 to 8. It would definitely be useful for content creators. :)

Are you aware of the the wiki page at the attached link? Acadia originally made this list as a thread. Then when the wiki came online, I entered all the data in this wiki page and asked others to add new ones here. So far it has not caught on as a community effort.. But I would like it to be the place to keep the links. It is already one of the top viewed wiki pages despite not being up to date. It could be a really great page.

Do you mind if I recompile it into the wiki flow?  I may revamp the page or just include it in a list on the Frequently Asked page.

Also, THANK YOU for including off-site links.  Not all knowledge will ever be found here, period.  But it's nice to have a comprehensive list.

Whoa, it's like someone handed out a holy book on the material room.  :)
