Using a processed image from COPS in material?

[oldiesgoodies]

Hi

I want to use an image from COPS inside a material color slot. What is the best way to attach any image from COPS?

thanks

Have a look at the following expression:

op:/img/your_cop_network/node_to_view

That should work if placed in the material texture slot.

Just beware - if you have a very heavy scene, big image files etc, then it can be slow to update at times.

Matt.

Thank you, that is exactly what I was looking for. For some reason I could not remember the "op:" notation

Another thing to remember that the image data is saved in the generated ifd scene file fed to Mantra. Just so you know. No issues other than the ifd size grows.
