Hi!
Is it possible to assign an already imported TextureMapFile as source in a shading variable?
Something like:
diff = "project://scene/Nor/TEX_Nor/NorTest_Skin_Diffuse"
Direkt link to the harddisk works as expected:
diff = "F:/TEX_Nor/NorTest_Skin_Diffuse"
Greetings,
René

you can mimic this using a texture switch driven by a shading variable. This is how this should be done (or with a blend...). Shading Variables adds a new dimension to values, doing what you propose would add a new dimension since the shading graph would have multiple representations too...

Hi Sam,
may you provide a sample how we can mimic this by a switch?
I don't get how it should be done

Thanks Tom

Hi,
Here is an example. The shading variable values are defined in the material linker but it's the same setup if you set them in a shading layer.
