MEL - script not assigning material

jayantbhatt007

hi, I have created this little window so I can easily assign material to it. It's creating a material but not assigning material to the object.




 window;

   

            frameLayout -label "jayant";

            

            // add the other controls

flowLayout -columnSpacing 7 -w 50 -h 50;

 // create six symbol buttons with related mel command

 

symbolButton -w 40 -h 40 -image "blinn.svg" -command "shadingNode -asShader blinn";

 showWindow;

Hey, edited your code a little bit. Try this

proc createMat(){
	
	
	 string $sel[] = `ls -sl`; 
	 string $myBlinn = `shadingNode -asShader blinn`; 
	 select -r $sel; 
	 hyperShade -assign $myBlinn;
}
window;
 
frameLayout -label "jayant";
            

flowLayout -columnSpacing 7 -w 50 -h 50;

 
symbolButton -w 40 -h 40 -image "blinn.svg" -c "createMat()" ;


showWindow;

hi thank you so much it is working like a charm but suppose I f I want to assign lambert material to the button  I have to replace  blinn as lambert in the above command If Im right see here.

proc createMat(){

string $sel[] = `ls -sl`; 

string $myBlinn = `shadingNode -asShader lambert`; 

select -r $sel; 

hyperShade -assign $mylambert;

}

window;

 

frameLayout -label "jayant";

            

flowLayout -columnSpacing 7 -w 50 -h 50;

 

symbolButton -w 40 -h 40 -image "blinn.svg" -c "createMat()" ;

showWindow;

Yeah, also you can  add another button and procedure for lambert 

jayantbhatt007

sir suppose I'm creating a button for Lambert and changing the command  ( you've provided) it is automatically changing the command of Blinn material also. see my whole script the last one.

at last after running the command both materials are working as a Lambert.

PLEASE DONT MIND I'M SUPER NOOB.
