material overide enable button

[vance3d]

I'd like to be able to designate in the vray material whether or not the material can be overidden by the global material overide.

this way I could quickly change materials on my subject without effecting the other geometry I have in the scene set up as reflection sources.

I second that one.

[jacksc02]

great suggestion!

I will third this

fourthed!!

[priad]

5 !
for transparency for example

[s0real]

good idea! (esp for transparents...)
sixthed or whatever!

[jonnybefree]

jo!!!

[v-cube]

very good idea!

[dapeter]

Just realized how useful this would be for something I'm working on right now. I think I'd prefer something like an overall render panel that would have:

1. global material override - all materials
2. global material override - diffuse materials only (for materials with a reflect/refract color of black and no reflect/refract material active)
3. global material override - refractive materials only
4. global material override - reflective materials only
5. global material override - refractive/reflective materials only
5. disable glossy reflections
6. disable glossy refractions

It could *probably* be done with some scripting cleverness.
I'm working just now on some sort of utility material based on VRay materials (similar to the EGZ ones, i guess, even though i never used them), if i find it easy enough to make it in the first release, i'll squeeze it in...

lele,
I would be interested in talking to you more about this.
I have added you to my MSN messenger.

I'd say you could do something quite similar by looking at the code of blurs "the onion" script.

[studioDIM]

Thanks for the tip jo!
Though i find it many times harder to look at a PROPER script code (like blur's) than to start from scratch my hacked and whacked ones :P

yeah absolutely - they seem to have really neat code in some of their scripts and do things the smart way with structs and functions etc - I'm not a decent programmer so I find it a little harder to track it than my own dodgy code
