I have a couple of scripts I use for toggling the display of maps in the viewport for selected objects. They work fine on objects that are using a standard material and either shows or hides the maps. But if the object(s) have multi-sub materials, they don’t work. Any idea what it would take to make them work with objects with multi-subs? Here is the Hide script:
(
fn viewportmaps sel val=
(
for s in sel do
(
try (showTextureMap s.material val)
catch()
)
)
viewportmaps (selection as array) false -- or false!
)
Thanks!
Hmmm… I have found an old Boboscript that would seem to do what I want but it doesn’t seem to work. The old SMIV (Show Map In Viewport v2.3) seems to be able to show/hide maps down in multisubs (according to the code itself) but errors out when I try to use it on an object with a multisub material.
Thanks for the ideas. In the meantime, I have found a script at Scriptspot that will toggle the display of materials and maps.
(
fn viewportmaps sel val=
(
for s in sel do
(
try (showTextureMap s.material val)
catch()
if s.material != undefined AND classOf s.material == multiSubMaterial do
(
for m in s.material.materialList do showTextureMap m
)
)
)
viewportmaps (selection as array) false -- or false!
)
dunno if
multiSubMaterial
is the correct class but you get the idea
