The DataMaterialGradient plug-in changes the material color of the controlled container to a color within a predefined spectrum (the plug-in changes the hue of the material).
A minimum value is assigned to one color and a maximum value is assigned to another color.
Any value between the minimum and maximum values is translated to a color, and affects the container’s material.
Note: This plug-in is located in: Plugins -> Container plug-ins -> Data
Information: DataPool plug-ins only work properly on a single channel on the same machine.
DataMaterialGradient Properties
Source material: Assigns the Data Min value to the material/alpha.
Target material: Assigns the Data Max value to the material/alpha.
Example
Data Min is 0
and Data Max is 100
. Source material is red and Target material is green. If the received data is 50
the material that is set on the container is yellow.
Note: DataMaterialGradient plug-in does not work unless the controlled containers have a material on them. If controlling child containers from a top node, each of the controlled child containers must have a material attached to it. The top container hosting the DataMaterialGradient plug-in doesn’t need to have a material attached to it.
