teacherman Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 It would be nice if there was a folder of just basic colors, like paint, to use as textures. I am working with my kids, but when they say their walls are a light blue paint I can't find the color as a texture. I know there are a million different colors, but a selection of say 100 would be great. Anyone know where I can find something like this?? Quote Link to comment
grant_PD Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 You can use actual paint colors from behr and others. I believe their palettes are available from the color picker down at the bottom. Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) I usually start with a texture, duplicate it then edit it for color... Go to the Resource Browser, duplicate a texture, rename it then edit it - right click and select edit, under Shaders choose Plain Color, then pick your color and voila...you can then duplicate, rename and "recolor" to make more... Use cool names so your kids will enjoy themselves - play with some of the reflectivity options and other effects while you're there Edited January 7, 2009 by Wes Gardner Quote Link to comment
Jim_Allen Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) That would be Ok, if I had the time, except I have 150 kids doing projects and looking for as many different colors. I need to find pre-made paint colors they can use, and won't take me a lifetime to set up for them. I am surprised VW hasn't gotten the paint manufaturers to provide colors ready for VW. What do Arch use??? Edited January 8, 2009 by Jim_Allen Quote Link to comment
grant_PD Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 They do. It's in the color picker. Quote Link to comment
Jim_Allen Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) Color picker?? I have spotlight and haven't seen a color picker sorry :-( Edited January 8, 2009 by Jim_Allen Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 It's there. In the Attributes Palette click on the button to choose a fill color. There will be a Color Palette Manager in the top right corner. The Rosco Colors are really simple and useful. michaelk Quote Link to comment
Jim_Allen Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Ok. found it. I don't set stuff - am a lighting Designer, so I selected the wall of the set but could not get it to change to the color I selected in the atributes pallet. how do I apply the color to a wall? Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Select the wall, give it a solid fill in the Attributes palette, choose your color in the Attributes palette. If you still can't figure it out post a file here with an example. Quote Link to comment
Jim_Allen Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) did as you said - no joy Here is the room Edited January 9, 2009 by Jim_Allen Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I selected the wall on the right and changed the color to red in the Attributes palette. Maybe you are changing the line color and not the fill color? Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Jim The walls already have a texture - FA3622*"prisma" In 2D they will accept a color. In 3D they already display the correct texture. Is this what you are trying to get it to do? michaelk Quote Link to comment
Jim_Allen Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 got it. I was thinking the color would replace the texture when applied - My Bad Quote Link to comment
