Edit Materials Options on the Mac?
-
When editing materials on my PC, I have icons for "match color of object in model" and "match color on screen." But I don't see these icons on my Mac. Do they not exist?
Thx!

Hi Rose,
I do not use a Mac so cannot tell the exact difference (and in this respect, there are differences) but here it says these tools exist:

With the paint bucket active. Command key picks color in the model. With the magnifier glass in the upper left of the materials window, you can pick colors on screen.

Thanks, Gaieus and pbacot! That page was very good too, I didn't see it when I searched for the answer.

One more question -when, specifically would you prefer to use "match color of object in model" as opposed to just sampling the color? As far as I can tell, they do the same thing.

Actually the command/bucket pick copies the MATERIAL in you model, with texture and UV, if there is one. It will reference an actual material that is in the browser. The magnifying glass just samples a color from a screen pixel (it does the same in all applications).

I wasn't clear, sorry. I was referring to the PC eyedropper icon that says "match color of object in model." Not the eyedropper/magnifying glass that samples a color from the screen. It seems to do the same thing as the eyedropper that samples colors and matches them.
