I’m trying to assign different color and materials to different subtools using ‘FillObject’. With some subtools it’ll work fine: I select a material and color, press ‘Mrgb’ and click color>Fillobject, and it works. But with other subtools I do the same thing and they don’t retain the color OR the material (and the little thumbnail in the subtools pallette remains on RedWax matcap regardless of the material chosen). With some subtools when i click ‘fillobject’ they turn black!, even though neither the main or second color was set to black!
I can only think this must be something with certain subtool models? I can’t understand why it works for some subtools and not others when there’s no obvious difference between them. If anyone can offer any help or advice for this it would be soo much appreciated as I’m really stuck for rendering! thanks
i guess no-one has a solution to this problem.
took about 8 hours for my message to appear on this forum yesterday too,
oh well, might give mudbox a try!!
I’ve now found, by accident!, a work-around for this:
- use subtool master to duplicate the problem subtool (the one which just will not take the color/material!)
- use subtool master’s own ‘fill’ to fill the duplicated subtool
- delete the original subtool, and append duplicate as desired
It’s possible that you had a mask on the object without realizing. Anyway, glad that you found a solution.
