I would like to be able to add the “Metal” material to an object and then change some of the metal material properties (like “Polish”).
To accomplish this in the Rhino UI:
Select the Materials panel
Click on the “+” button and select “Metal”
Drag the slider for “Polish” to the desired value
Drag material icon onto object in the scene
How would I accomplish the above using python?
On a broader note, is there any documents I could read to explain the Rhino materials/rendering setup? I am a little confused with how I should be thinking about materials in the rhino world.
