Automate my renderings with Cycles

I would like to automate materials (gold, silver, … different colors of stones) for rendering of a set of bmp files

Then you need Grasshopper (GhShaderNodes) I guess.

Here are a few threads I recently created about that topic:

Raytraced grasshopper question

So basically I want to learn how to use the RayTraced GH plugin (Shader). Since I couldn’t find any tutorials that match the latest icons, and since I don’t know anything about rendering’s terminology. I found this video (by @nathanletwory ): I get to the point where you “set one material” but I don’t have that XML available. As a matter of fact the whole “Set One Material” is grayed out. [image] What is the reason for this?

How do I delete unused environments from my file?

Use the Materials and Environment panels to delete what you don’t want.

Glossy Material GhShaderNodes

I’d love to learn how to do that, but that’s beyond my understanding as of now I found a way to add material from ghpython, but Cycles.xml is an xml not generated with System.Drawing.Color I’ll create another thread for that.

How do I generate Cycles.xml with ghpython?

Yay
