Unfortunately that takes quite a bit of work to produce a UI for that kind of full Photoshop color palette management.

That's beyond what I can do in a few minutes with a script, you would need to develop something of that level of complexity on your own - I could try to help you out in some particular spots if you want to undertake it.

Haaaaahahahaaa... That is cool!

Michael you rock again! Bravo!
I suppose there is no problem to give a negative increment
red - = 4 (if it's the syntax and take care of a last result less 0 :)

No problem about the toshop palette with your script i can yet make some crazzy gradients!

And how apply these new gradients styles to the selection of Objects ? :)

I know for apply them as random mode but with these new gradients in normal mode?
(by Michael)
script: /* Assign random styles to solids */ var styles = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjectStyles(); var breps = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects().getBReps(); for ( var i = 0; i < breps.length; ++i ) { var brep = breps.item(i); var style_index = Math.floor(Math.random() * styles.length); brep.styleIndex = style_index; }

Surely trivial but...
works only if number of objects <= numbers of styles
how make if numbers of object are bigger than the gradients and wanted cyclic result?
(of course i can reselect the no color objects and relaunch the script but... :)

something like this ? modification of the script above :)
script: /* Assign styles to solids */ var styles = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjectStyles(); var breps = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects().getBReps(); for ( var i = 0; i < breps.length; ++i ) { var brep = breps.item(i); var style_index = i; brep.styleIndex = style_index; }

here nice result for the gradients'style!

Hmmm, I don't think that script was expecting for the numbers to become negative. You may need to add in an additional Math.abs( ); call to take the absolute value for that case, something like:

script: /* Make gradient styles */ var red = 12, green = 15, blue = 20; for ( var i = 1; i <= 100; ++i ) { var style = moi.geometryDatabase.addStyle(); style.name = 'Gradient ' + i; style.color = (Math.abs(red%256)<<16) | (Math.abs(green%256)<<8) | Math.abs(blue%256); red += 2; green += 3; blue -= 7; }

Sorry for the complexification but now that is total control for generate gradient by hand ;)

Hi Pilou,

> something like this ? modification of the script above :)

Yup, it looks like that works, except the only problem would be if you had more than 100 objects the ones that were above the last style index will end up with the default first style applied to them instead, since that would be trying to assign them a style that does not exist.

So maybe you would want to wrap around to avoid that, something like:

script: /* Assign styles to solids */ var styles = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjectStyles(); var breps = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects().getBReps(); var style_index = 0; for ( var i = 0; i < breps.length; ++i, ++style_index ) { if ( style_index == styles.length ) { style_index = 0; } var brep = breps.item(i); brep.styleIndex = style_index; }

This one when it reaches the last style it will start over at 0 for the next style after that.

Works like a charm!
Total success!
Bravo!
here test with the default Styles modified the black one in yellow ;)
The 2 orange red on the bottom left side are just the new beginning as 100 is not dividing by 7 :)

Now you can create many candy models! :)

Hello Michael
does your plug accept value like this red -=5.7 ? or it's truncated to 5 or 6 ?

Neat spiral thing, Pilou... makes me hungry for gummmmy worms. :-)

Hi Pilou,

> does your plug accept value like this red -=5.7 ? or it's truncated to 5 or 6 ?

I think that should work - the actual color value used will automatically get truncated to an integer value. Let me know if it doesn't seem to work right.

- Michael

All works fine when we enter decimal value so we have not to think when we make divide rgb color by number of styles :)

It's not very ergononomic but very efficient! :)

I have made a little tut ;)
