The next breaks this script down into three commands that independently edit hue, value, and saturation (good for if you, say, want 6 objects of different colors to all be brighter)
The next twelve are scripts that just set an object to a color, each 30 hue increments apart. I have this set so aliases that go (SC# (SetColor#) - I actually use letters here - so SC Q W E R A S D F Z X C V) - like a little paint palette on my keyboard
And then the last set I have set up to nudge the hue or saturation plus or minus ten without going through any command line options, so instead of setting the HSV over and over you can use shortcuts to just nudge it up and down. This works well paired with a repeat shortcut.
Sorry things got pasted a little out of order, but hope some folks find this useful. For my workflow (which currently involves using rhino to make a lot of graphics) these are making things much more painless!
Looks like these could be organized into a custom toolbar with multiple buttons. In the past I usedn similar toolbar with 20 different icons with scripts to quickly assing a set of custom object colours.
I like this idea! I’m an “all command line/macro” workflow person, but I think it’s definitely true that these could be grouped into buttons!
I tested these out with a many-colored image last night that would’ve not really been doable in Rhino before. I found the color workflow to be much more fluid but found myself wanting a few more things… I’ll add any additional useful scripts to the post above
I have a small pile of scripts that I find extremely useful. I keep telling myself I want to refine them before I start sharing them, but the current toolbar system isn’t conducive to what I would like to accomplish so maybe I’ll get them to that point at a later date.
Select Named Views from the list that you wish to batch capture.
Select the location to save to.
It will cycle through and save an image of each view appending the date/ time to the end of the Named View name.
If not present, an archive folder will be created in the same location as the images.
Upon future uses it will automatically move existing images into the archive folder when a newer version is saved.
Basic options settings can be toggled by changing:
SHOW_COMMAND_OPTIONS_UI = False
to
SHOW_COMMAND_OPTIONS_UI = True
They are set to false as I always use the same settings and was trying to keep it simple and fast to use.
I’m not great at writing scripts so if you make improvements, please share them back with me.
Here is the Macro button image I use with it if anyone wants something quick and easy.
