Assigning texture

[Gnimmel]

You can simply use setAttr to set a file texture, but remember this is a string so you have to set the type.

e.g.

setAttr -type "string" file1.fileTextureName "MyTexture.jpg";

Hi,

well... it might be because of case sensitivity... the cmd is AEassignTextureCB with a "big" T at Texture...

which would be my first guess why it doesn't work...
however if that isn't the case... you can e.g. try this...
first find out which shader is on the object... and find out of it has an file node connected to it...
in this case I just assume for lazyness sake that the object only has one shader assigned...
otherwise an UI could be build for this to get multiple shaders from an object shown in a list to choose from...

e.g. take a look at the doDaMakeSelectFacesFromShaderOnObjWindow example here... :)

a solution using AEassignTextureCB cmd....


proc daTexAssignTesto()
{
string $daSel[] = `ls -sl -l`;
string $daObj[] = `listRelatives -s -typ mesh $daSel[0]`;
string $daShadersOnObj[] = `listConnections -type "shadingEngine" -et 1 -s 0 -d 1 $daObj[0]`;
string $daShaderType = nodeType(`connectionInfo -sfd ($daShadersOnObj[0]+".surfaceShader")`);
string $daShader[] = `listConnections -t $daShaderType $daShadersOnObj[0]`;
string $daShaderFile[]= `listConnections -t file $daShader[0]`;
if((`size $daShaderFile[0]`) > 0)
{
AEfileTextureBrowser ("AEassignTextureCB "+$daShaderFile[0]+".fileTextureName");
}
else if((`size $daShaderFile[0]`) == 0)
{
$daShaderFile[0] = `createNode "file"`;
connectAttr -f ($daShaderFile[0]+".outColor") ($daShader[0]+".color");
AEfileTextureBrowser ("AEassignTextureCB "+$daShaderFile[0]+".fileTextureName");
}
}
daTexAssignTesto;

using a filebrowser and the setAttr -type "string" file1.fileTextureName "MyTexture.jpg";

which Richard mentions... :)


[/code]
proc doDaAssignTexTest( )
{
if ( (`window -exists assignDaTexThingieUI`) == true ) deleteUI assignDaTexThingieUI;
window -title "Open up your Texture file and assign it..." -wh 400 48 assignDaTexThingieUI;
columnLayout -adjustableColumn true;
textFieldButtonGrp

-bc "string $daPath = `fileDialog`;textFieldButtonGrp -e -text $daPath daTexFilepath02;doDaAssignTexFile($daPath)"
daTexFilepath02;
setParent..;
showWindow assignDaTexThingieUI;
}
doDaAssignTexTest;


proc doDaAssignTexFile(string $daPath)
{
string $tokenPart1[], $tokenPart2[];
tokenize ($daPath, ".", $tokenPart1);
tokenize ($tokenPart1[0], "/", $tokenPart2);
string $daExtension = $tokenPart1[1];
int $daTexIndex = size($tokenPart2)-1;
string $daTexFile = $tokenPart2[$daTexIndex];
string $daTexFolder = `substitute ($daTexFile+"."+$daExtension) $daPath ""`;
string $daSel[] = `ls -sl -l`;
string $daObj[] = `listRelatives -s -typ mesh $daSel[0]`;
string $daShadersOnObj[] = `listConnections -type "shadingEngine" -et 1 -s 0 -d 1 $daObj[0]`;
string $daShaderType = nodeType(`connectionInfo -sfd ($daShadersOnObj[0]+".surfaceShader")`);
string $daShader[] = `listConnections -t $daShaderType $daShadersOnObj[0]`;
string $daShaderFile[]= `listConnections -t file $daShader[0]`;
if((`size $daShaderFile[0]`) > 0)
{
setAttr -type "string" ($daShaderFile[0]+".fileTextureName") ($daTexFile+"."+$daExtension);
}
else if((`size $daShaderFile[0]`) == 0)
{
$daShaderFile[0] = `createNode "file"`;
connectAttr -f ($daShaderFile[0]+".outColor") ($daShader[0]+".color");
setAttr -type "string" ($daShaderFile[0]+".fileTextureName") ($daTexFile+"."+$daExtension);
}
}
[/code]
however no error handling has been implemented... but hopefully you can use it anyway... :)
