colour models

[otterman]

Dont suppose anyone knows the best way to setup shaders from lightwave to
director so you can change colour (paintwork of a car for example)?

Below is the code im using but it just 'paints' the models in a pastel type
colour instead of the solid colour. What figures???? Am I setting up the
surface from lightwave incorrectly. Ie, too much difusion/luminosity etc...

I avnt a clue!

-- assign shaders to each model
on mouseup
sprite(mySprite).member.model[1].shaderList[1] = redShader
end

--define the shader
redShader = sprite(me.spriteNum).member.newShader("Red Shader",#standard)
redShader.ambient = rgb("FF0000")
redShader.texture = VOID

Im not a lightwave user but if you havent already try using 3dpi to change the properties of your model

Oh simple, instead of redShader.ambient = rgb("FF0000"), it should be redShader.diffuse = rgb("FF0000").

Directly colouring the surface apose to the lighting! Go figure!

Ta anyways
