Hi Pilou,

re:

It is assigned by taking the center of the object's bounding box and then finding the closest point on the path curve to that center point.

Then the parameter value of that point along the curve becomes the parameter for the gradient, with the start of the curve being the start color, blending up to the end of the curve being the end color.

Hi Pilou,

re:

> My object is a simple Sweep

Yes only one object is not supported for the gradient. So don't do that. ;)

Yes but i want keep that is on the screen and don't want close the actual file...
Just remake the original Style by default after any gradients

Maybe a script if you can't make an option

or a selection multiple for erase something large!

...and how works the filter? (Ctrl + Click)

Hi Pilou,

What about select what is on your screen, use Ctrl+C , then File>New, then Ctrl+V ?


re:

That restricts object selection to only work on the filtered items. So for example if you set the filter on Style = Red, then when you click in the viewport (or do any selection action like Ctrl+A or whatever), only objects that have Style = Red assigned to them will be targeted for selection and any other objects not matching the filter will be skipped over.

Ok above + new file keeps the colors used for the objects created! Cool!

<< when you click in the viewport (or do any selection action like Ctrl+A or whatever)
it's that i had forgotten!

Ctrl + A ok, Rectangular Selection ok, Click on an object ok = selection following filters selected
but what do you mean by only "Click on the viewport" ?

Michael, These Gradient scripts will be very useful. Thank you.

I've added both scripts to Max's CustomUI extension, under the scripts icon

Maybe someone could to a nodeeditor version, and find additional ways to select the two initial colors.

Same as what you say there for "click on an object".

Thank you Michael,

it is working now.

Best regards
Stefan

Terrific of simplicity and very efficient!

The gradient script is awesome!!!

Hi all,

Maybe some of you have noticed that the superb Gradient script uses 0-100 percent for hue (H)
instead of the commonly used 0-360 degrees for hue (H). So, to choose colors from a reference
image or palette you may do the following, as I currently do:

Look at an online site for RGB to HSV or HSB conversion or check the color palette in your Graphics
Editor and choose the HSV or HSB color there.

Then simply calculate the correct values for Hue = n for the script like: n/360*100 wich gives you for
example 70.83. In order to input these values in the script I have changed line 19 and 30 in the .html file to:

'NumericInput' instead of 'IntegerInput' and add 'style="decimalPlaces:2"' behind 'default="100"'

Hope you find this little tip useful.

Regards
Stefan

Can you post the file modified ? That will avoid some trivial errors! :)

Hi Pilou,

not sure if this is a good idea ... but here is a picture.

Stefan

OK that is more clear! :)

Hi Stefan, I've updated the attached versions to take a hue value between 0 and 360 so you can use these ones without doing any converting.

Hi Michael,

*thanks a lot, much appreciated!!!* :-)

Best regards
Stefan

Must make a new translation! :)

And of course with exactly same regulates!

French version will be done in a few time! (I must go to eat :)

@ Michael : Just a little detail :)
with the new 360 option you must erase this internal rectangle in the English "360" original! ;)
