Color in shaded mode same as color in rendered mode

[maarten1 (Maarten)]

Hello!

Back in the day when I used rhino version 3 or 4 I think (I do not recall that well, long time ago!) it was possible if you were adding a clolour to an object in shaded display, it would automaticly appear in the same colour in your rendered display. Somehow overtime it changed, and now I do a lot of double work. Adding coulour in shaded display, and clicking another time in rendered mode, to adjust materials and colours.

Is there a way to transfer the shaded display colours directly into the rendered display? For me it saves time, and I can get a quick feeling about my (interior design) drawings.

And if it does not exist, can you make it happen?

Pleas let me know

kind regards, Maarten Wijnen

There is the command SynchronizeRenderColors which should do what you want…

SynchronizeRenderColors | Rhino 3-D modeling

I am going to try it out!

Helaas, not what I was looking for.

I found something else, but I do not know how to use it as a command. it worked once…

Convert Display Color to Render Material?

Thanks Shynn Sup – the command does work, just not what I’m trying to do, unless I’m missing something. The _SynchronizeRenderColors uses the layer color (which can be different than object color) for rendering. I can use _SetObjectDisplayMode on the 150 objects to display shaded when I render which is a work around – it doesn’t work if I’m tyring to render with raytrace. [image] [image] [image] What I’d like to do is take all 150 objects which are all on the same layer and which I’ve run…

Could you explain what is not working in your workflow?

Are you referring to:

@ShynnSup

Set Material Colors from Object Colors.rvb (1.5 KB)

To run the script:

Command: Loadscript/ Then select the file I just attached.
Command: Runscript

That script should work on Windows. LoadScript → Add, then Load. Then RunScript.

He Wim, this one works, good.So if I want to use this one, do I have to repeat that in every drawing, or is it a standard setting now?

[maarten1 (Maarten)]

welll: I have now 121 differnt materials/colors black. all materials with a different name.

And I cannot purge them

'avond Maarten -
The RhinoScript that Shynn Sup linked to is a programming sample to demonstrate how to set a material color for an object. It’s not necessarily meant to be very useful beyond that.

Which leads to my first question. What is not working for you with the actual SynchronizeRenderColors command in Rhino?
