Hi
Why not assign a userchannel value to all the objects that define a
certain color-scheme? Doing all the selections once can't be avoided, so
create and assign i.e. float_isindexed = 1 and float_mycolorindex = 1
for some objects, 2 for others, 3 for some and so forth.
You can then assign a global material that deals with the coloring, sort
of like:
If float_isindexed = 1
Then {
If float_mycolorindex = 1
--Then assign color red
If float_mycolorindex = 2
--Then assign color blue
}
And so on. The first IF could be useful for a root material, to exit as
early as possible.
Just an idea, not sure how concieveable it is.
But proper saveable/nameable selection sets would have been the better
approach. The grouping is only sort of okay, I have had bizarre
experiences with it and not too happy about its implementation.
Regards
Karl
