[Closed] multiMaterial Append if ID is Unique?

Oct 13, 2011 3:24 pm

At work most of the people use multimaterials, but they dont manage there ID’s properly, and it’s creating problem at render time.

Letsay they create a multimaterial with 3 submaterials with ID’s like this-

ID 6 – Standard Material
ID 2 – Standard Material
ID 4 – Standard Material

Now what I want to do with scripting is to add materials with the missing ID’s like 1,3 and 5. I don’t want to change the orignal materials and ID’s just add the missing ones with default materials.

Any idea how to do it properly.

Here’s a function to do that.

fn fillMultimaterial multi =
 (
 	for i in 1 to multi.numsubs do
 	(
 		if multi[i] == undefined then
 		(
 			multi[i] = standard()
 		)
 	)
 )

Cheers,

Thats exactly what I wanted, I didn’t thought about the numsubs. I get it now.

Thanks a lot DreaTawn
