Changing the materials of a UV'd object

[S. Houtzager]

Hey I have purchased a model and some of the objects are colored using UVs.  Here is a snap.

It would save time if I could have it in EI and "adjust" the black and the red.  Any ideas?

Hi Steven,

 

If ithe model comes with UV's normally have a bitmap that you can adjust in Photoshop.

 

If not you can bake the texture object in a program like C4d, on this way you have a bitmap texture tu fine tune in PS.

 

I hope this help.

 

Cheers

Hey Diego,

 

The vertices are painted somehow as there is not a map associated with it.  Hoping to adjust the 2 materials in EI.

 I'm not sure if it will work with-out texture but,  you can try the new TextureFilter.shd wich is reactive to vertex colors it allows you to control RGB, Saturation, and Value.

Do you have a polygon modeling program like c4d? 3d max? silo?

 

If so, you can select the polys you want and detach those of the object making 2 pieces. I have to do this ALL the time with models I purchase.

I use FormZ mostly.  Got Silo too.  I can do that with Z. Great.
