No visual change after updating Cycles Xml file

Rendering

Is there a way to change the look of Cycles Xml materials in Rendered display mode? By default, the material(s) always show up as this pink color.

After examining the xml, I found the tags under “simulation” and it looks like these correspond to the look in the Rendered view.

I converted the diffuse color values to RGB values to get the pink color.

Conversion formula: (value x 100) x 255 / 100
Red value (1): (1 x 100) x 255 / 100 = 255
Green value (0.41): (0.41 x 100) x 255 / 100 = 104~
Blue value (0.7 x 100) x 255 / 100 = 178~

The color I got in an RGB tester is below.

In an attempt to change that pink color, I tried changing the diffuse color values in the xml, but after I save the file, open it in Rhino, and apply it, my object in Rendered display mode still shows up as the pink color.

No, there is no code doing any updating of the simulation.

The Cycles XML material is still a hidden material, and not really intended for regular consumption - unless you know what you’re doing. It is for Raytraced and Rhino Render only.

I’m not sure how well it works in Rhino 8, I have not tested it.

Gotcha. Thanks for the swift response.

Actually, Cycles XML material appears to work still in Rhino 8.
