Matcap gadget

CreatedEnergy 23 July 2022 19:21

A gadget that would allow the creator to quickly temporarily change the color and material of every sculpt and painting in the scene at once. This is extremely useful for sculpting as often times it is difficult to see the contours of the sculpture because of materials that are too rough or colours of varying levels that mess with readability. At the moment it is very impractical to achieve this as the creator must select everything in the scene and change the tint or material to whatever they feel is most readable, whereas with the gadget, it could be done in a matter of seconds, and be switched on and off whenever the creator pleases.

  I'm not too sure on what such a gadget would do. How would you tell it how to change the look of objects? And how would you tell it which objects would change appearance and which wouldn't?

  I think what most people do to, for example, turn everything in the scene a matt white is:

  • Record into a keyframe.
  • Select everything in the scene (double-tap X will do this quickly).
  • Use the coat tools to tint white, and change the finish to "plastic" (this will apply to all selected objects and anything inside selected groups).
  • Stop recording.

  Now you can turn that keyframe on for the entire scene to be matt white. And turn it off to see their normal colours.

  Having it as a display option would be good! Equivilant to turning on/off studio lighting!
