Hi Andy,
superb! Does your interface rely on the Lightwave SDK or is it completely standalone?
I'm sure this would need some further discussion and testing (especially since it shouldn't mimic XSIs tree too closely ;-) )
I have to do some more reading on such a "base-material" or how this would be called in XSI/MR.
Actually your Histogram tool brought me to the idea of external interfaces when I found out that I can't use Fcurves for shaders in XSI. :-)
In messiah I found a pretty cool workaround for the no-Fcurves-in-Shaders problem and now I have a shader in my TLHPro package that can use the timeline/graph editor with all it's bells and whistles for "superfinetuning" of surfaces and other stuff.
Let's see if we can get something going.
Anyone else interested to join in?
Thanks and best regards,
Thomas Helzle
