Modifying via the iClone Modify Panel

After using the auto-convert method, you may need to modify the material of a 3D object. One way to do this is to modify the materials of the target objects in iClone and then convert again. However, please keep in mind that if the objects already contain material animations, this method may destroy them.

1. Prepare a project in iClone.
   
2. Click the Render Scene button on the iClone Indigo Plug-in toolbar for previewing.
   
   Check out the scene to focus on the material that you want to modify.
   

   Note:

   For previewing, please export the frame at a smaller resolution to ensure fast render results. Please note that you are not changing the original resolution of the project but only the dimension of the Indigo scene (*.igs) that is created from this project for rendering.

3. Go back to iClone and adjust the material(s) parameters in the Modify panel. In this case, the Diffuse Color, for example, of the sculpture is changed to red.
   
4. Click the Render Scene button on the toolbar again for rendering.
   
   The materials rendered in Indigo will be kept as similar as possible to the ones you see in iClone.
   

   Note:

   Please keep in mind that his method is only suitable for rendering single images or any object that does not have material animations. Please also refer to the Basic Material Mapping Rules and Advanced Material Mapping Rules sections for more information.
