Imported mesh material color

[Zahir Junejo]

Hi fellow Babylonians,

 

I tried to import a mesh of a boat, but i want to change the color of its material. I cannot change it for some reason.

 

here is the part of code:

                let boat = new BABYLON.AbstractMesh("boat", scene);
                boatMaterial = new BABYLON.StandardMaterial("boatMat", scene);
                boatMaterial.diffuseColor = new BABYLON.Color3(1.0, 0.2, 0.5);

                BABYLON.SceneLoader.ImportMesh("", "assets/", "speedboat.babylon", scene,  (meshes, particleSystems) => { 
                meshes[0].material = boatMaterial;
                boat = meshes[0];
                });
                               
                let boatSpeed = 1;
                boat.position = new BABYLON.Vector3(-10, 0, 100);

 

But bright side, experience on babylon has been great so far. But just need help on this.

Why not just use meshes[0].material.diffuseColor = new BABYLON.Color3(1.0, 0.2, 0.5); ? Unless, of course, the same material is used by other meshes. Also, why do you create an AbstractMesh variable and then reassign it to the loaded mesh?

I tried that but that also did not work the colour still remained grey but same thing done to skull.babylon file worked.

is your meshes[0] definitely your boat mesh? I've been burnt by scene arrays' indices before

[Zahir Junejo]

I guess i can relate to that. Yes meshes[0] is boat mesh because that is the only mesh in the blender version of this file. I have not done any splitting.

Maybe it has a multimaterial ?

[Zahir Junejo]

Yes how did you know that?

Can you call scene.debugLayer.show() ?

this way you'll be able to see how many meshes are in your scene

[Zahir Junejo]

Oh my god, are you David catuh? 

I will definitely look into scene.debuglayer.show but the problem has been solved for now. By using

Meshes[0].getscene.getmaterialbyid...

 

I was able to change colours for both materials.

 

Thanks anyways everyone. But really, are you Mr Catuh?

[jerome]

yes he is

I am but why is it important?
