Script problem - it worked two days ago before updating Rhino

How to create a material in grasshopper from an image

How to create a material in Grasshopper with an image, also I need to adjust mapping scaling, rotation [image]

I’ve been using the script @laurent_delrieu shared in this topic but now all of a sudden Grasshopper complains:

1. Data conversion failed from Goo to Shader

The custom preview component accepted the material two days ago

Strange ?
With my component compiled from Nautilus it works !!

        protected override void SolveInstance(IGH_DataAccess DA)
        {
            Component = this;
            GrasshopperDocument = this.OnPingDocument();
            

            Color DiffuseColor = Color.Red;
            if (Component.Params.Input[0].SourceCount == 0)
            {
                InputTools.Swatch(ref Component, ref GrasshopperDocument, 0, 11, DiffuseColor);
            }
            DA.GetData(0, ref DiffuseColor);

            double Reflection = 0.5;
            if (Component.Params.Input[1].SourceCount == 0)
            {
                InputTools.Slider(ref Component, ref GrasshopperDocument, 1, 11, 0, 1, 1, Reflection);                
            }
            DA.GetData(1, ref Reflection);
            Reflection = Math.Min(Math.Max(Reflection, 0), 1);

            double Smoothness = 0.3;
            if (Component.Params.Input[2].SourceCount == 0)
            {
                InputTools.Slider(ref Component, ref GrasshopperDocument, 2, 11, 0, 1, 1, Smoothness);
            }
            DA.GetData(2, ref Smoothness);
            Smoothness = Math.Min(Math.Max(Smoothness, 0), 1);

            Color ReflectionColor = Color.White;
            Color AmbientColor = Color.White;
            Color EmissionColor = Color.Black;
            Color SpecularColor = Color.Black;
            Color TransparentColor = Color.Black;
            double Transparency = 0.0;

            Rhino.DocObjects.Material material = new Rhino.DocObjects.Material();
            
            material.DiffuseColor = DiffuseColor;

            material.ReflectionColor = ReflectionColor;
            material.Reflectivity = Reflection;

            material.SpecularColor = SpecularColor; 
            material.AmbientColor = AmbientColor;
            material.EmissionColor = EmissionColor;            
            material.ReflectionGlossiness = Smoothness;
                       
            material.TransparentColor = TransparentColor; 
            material.Transparency = Transparency;

            material.FresnelReflections = true;

            var renderMaterial = Rhino.Render.RenderMaterial.CreateBasicMaterial(material, Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc);
            

            DA.SetData(0, new GH_Material(renderMaterial));
        }

Yes I also find it strange, especially because it worked two day ago.

I have an older version of Rhino 8 from mid January and there it works fine.

[laurent_delrieu]

I updated Rhino yesterday sot it surely means this Version 8 SR6 (8.6.24086.11001, 2024-03-26) brings some change on the generic conversion. @eirannejad is it a change in the C# editor or in Grasshopper SDK ?

From what I tested it is not outputted as GH_Material but it stays as a Rhino.Display.DisplayMaterial

[eirannejad (Ehsan Iran-Nejad)]

Hm okay I might have messed up something. There has been improvements to the converters on the script component on the last 8.6 build. I did not have a specific test case for this but I made sure all our unit tests are passing. Seems like this is a new bug. I’ll get on this and will fix for next 8.6 build

RH-81269 Script param converter regression in 8.6

[eirannejad (Ehsan Iran-Nejad)]

Ok got this fixed. @martinsiegrist @laurent_delrieu I can dm you new 8.6 builds later today for testing

[martinsiegrist]

Thank you so much for the quick fix and the dujour build.

RH-81269 is also fixed in Rhino 8 Service Release 6 Release Candidate.

…aaaaand RH-81269 is also fixed in Rhino 8 Service Release 6 that we just released.
