hi all

Is the a short-cut way of transferring the information from one material channel to another?

For example, I want the info in my 'colour' channel repeated in my 'luminance channel

I'm sure there's a quick way without re-assembling the info

at the end of the channel dialog box, there is a arrow click on this and you will find copy channel, now go to the next do the same but past.

...however you can't copy & paste colour information using the standard C4D colour mixer. To do that, download the demo of bhodiNUT's Praline shaders and use the wonderful (and completeley free!) 'Flat Colour' shader that comes with it.

Do you have R8? I havent tried but i think this should be possible with that XPresso node thing.

For color information, you could click the color box of material dialog and once memorize it in a color picker displayed by OS. Then you can click another color box of another channel and retrieve the memorized color in the color picker.
