Customized Icons for material/texture selections for objects

Hey guys,

I want my objects (for eg 1. Cabinet, 2. Counter Top) to have custom materials/textures that would change whenever selected by the user. For now, it’s like this you can see where we can enter the image address to customize the object texture.

And I want it to be like this one where there are several pre-selected materials along with the icons.

customize

So how do we develop this as these materials will not be in shape diver, what will be the workflow where and how to store and link these material data (if needed), and how do we develop and connect it with our model so that when we click on the icon the respective material/texture will be applied on the respective object or part for which I’ve selected.

Can you guys help me with this feature

In order to implement the workflow you are describing, your application will be responsible for storing and referencing the right URLs for the various textures you want to show in the viewer. You will also have to implement the custom user interface. Whenever a user clicks on one of the material icons, it will be possible to find the URL of the texture corresponding to the clicked option and then use this URL as input for the texture of the object in the ShapeDiver model.

In other words, this task is a pure web development issue, with a single API contact point with the ShapeDiver model, in the form of a text input parameter where you will send your texture urls.

Thank you so much for explaining the workflow. I’ll follow this to achieve the results.
