Texture swapping or switch

[Saya]

Hi,
Im looking for a manual way to switch my textures on a model. Say I have a plank, a yellow texture and a green texture.

I want to be able to switch from yellow to green. Like a switch node.

Does anyone have an idea how to do this?

 

Thanks in advance

Why not just use a switch in the Shop context once you dive into the material? You can use a color mix if you want to animate a blend between them.

how about setting up three material nodes and a switch node?

You can use Material SOPs to do this. Material SOPs can use the shop_materialpath attribute or style sheets. Up to you.

 

The Material SOP has the capability to do material overrides. Just use two Material SOPs to set up your settings then follow with a Switch SOP.

 

See the attached scene file.

 

Is this what you were after?

You could also use a material stylesheet and an attribute to swap texture maps.

wauw thanks to all,

this newb learned something new.

 

Sl0throp, i added the switch node but up untill a moment ago i didn't knew you could promote attributes, and add it to the parameters in my obj level.

great idea to animate it. I'm going to use that later. Thanks for the help

 

old school, your method is very nice, as i prefer to have everything in the obj level. A VOP always stress me out when i see such large nodes. Didn't knew you could do that.
