Display Color Channel Script

be_ha

Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a script to change the selected object's Display Color Channel from Ambient+Diffuse to None. I can't find anything on google. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

# Toggle between Ambient+Diffuse and None display modes.
import maya.cmds as cmds
selectedShapes = cmds.ls(transforms=True, selection = True)

def SetDisplay(curShape ,curMode):
    if curMode == "Ambient+Diffuse":
        cmds.setAttr(curShape + '.displayColorChannel', 'None', type = 'string')
    else:
        cmds.setAttr(curShape + '.displayColorChannel', 'Ambient+Diffuse', type = 'string')

for shape in selectedShapes:
    curMode = cmds.getAttr(shape + '.displayColorChannel', asString = True)
    SetDisplay(shape,curMode)

Here's a quick script to toggle between the two different modes. The ".displayColorChannel" is the attribute you'll want to be getting and setting.
