Material Diffuse Color Assignment

[craiggorton]

There is a really minor glitch I found in assigning material diffuse color. If the selected color box is white (RGB255,255,255)or black, you can click in the color map and nothing changes. The HSL numbers change but not the RGB. When I click a colored box the color map works.

yes this happens because the luminance is set at either 100% or 0%. Its a problem with the stupid default windows colorpicker that I use right now. Look at the vertical bar on the right hand side of the dialog. If you move the marker somewhere away from either end it should be ok.

I'm not sure if I explained this too well, let me know if you need me to clear anything up.

Hi Joe- I am pretty sure you can get at the Rhino color picker pretty easily in the SDK- it is a little nicer, IMHO, then the one you are currenly using.

I second that. I figured out how it works, but I do like the Rhino one better.

yes please use the Rhino color picker, it is way better.

Please use the max color picker, that's even better imo. Their 6 sliders are great for fine tuning materials.

well I'll see which one I can get in the quickest for right now( probably the Rhino one). Then eventually we'll probably design our own based on all of your feedback.
