material properties question


#1

after assigning a material to some objects, and painting diffuse bump and specularity i wanted to change some overall properties, but i cant, instead of being able to change diffuse or base bump, u can now only select and image or something… how can i fix this?


#2

mudbox is working in the background always with tiny images of 2x2 pixel for the color… if you save your scene you will find them in the texture folder of the scene… i would recommend change the color before painting…

the easiest way for you would be…
create a new paint layer under all the other and paint it in the color you want…
or import a layer painted in photoshop… and refresh him if you like to change the color…


#3

the thing is i want to sample to overall specular color i set for the material. how do i do that?


#4

sampling the color should work with the the shortcut “i”…
its working here in mud 2011…
