Thank you but, how would that be implemented no matter what the name of the object is?

Lets say there is 5 objects in your scene. Select any object click button in PPG and new material is assigned and color is as specified in the script. Select a different object ( this object obviously has a different name) click button in ppg and that object gets predefined material.

Does this make sense?

What is going on is my script creates an object with controls on it (blah blah) at the end of the script I want to add a meterial ApplyShader("$XSI_DSPRESETS\\Shaders\\Material\\Blinn.Preset", “”, null, “”, siLetLocalMaterialsOverlap[\code]. Next I will click the button in the ppg again and create anouther object and this one also needs the same material as the first. than create anouther and anouther, so on and so forth.

P.S. before anyone says it… CTRL+D isn’t going to do it.

My script isn’t ready for the world but, here is a good for instance.

FIE muscle system (at the very end):

CopyPaste(muscleMesh + “.MuscleParameters.FirstTendonScale”, null, firstClusterCenterModeling + “.kine.local.scl.sclx”, 1)
CopyPaste(muscleMesh + “.MuscleParameters.FirstTendonScale”, null, firstClusterCenterModeling + “.kine.local.scl.scly”, 1)
CopyPaste(muscleMesh + “.MuscleParameters.FirstTendonScale”, null, firstClusterCenterModeling + “.kine.local.scl.sclz”, 1)

CopyPaste(muscleMesh + “.MuscleParameters.SecondTendonScale”, null, secondClusterCenterModeling + “.kine.local.scl.sclx”, 1)
CopyPaste(muscleMesh + “.MuscleParameters.SecondTendonScale”, null, secondClusterCenterModeling + “.kine.local.scl.scly”, 1)
CopyPaste(muscleMesh + “.MuscleParameters.SecondTendonScale”, null, secondClusterCenterModeling + “.kine.local.scl.sclz”, 1)

CopyPaste(muscleMesh + “.MuscleParameters.BellyScale”, null, middleClusterCenterModeling + “.kine.local.scl.sclx”, 1)
CopyPaste(muscleMesh + “.MuscleParameters.BellyScale”, null, middleClusterCenterModeling + “.kine.local.scl.scly”, 1)
CopyPaste(muscleMesh + “.MuscleParameters.BellyScale”, null, middleClusterCenterModeling + “.kine.local.scl.sclz”, 1)

//rename muscle parts for convenience
SetValue(muscleMesh + “.Name”, “muscle”, null)

SetValue(firstClusterCenter + “.Name”, “firstTendonAnimation”, null)
SetValue(secondClusterCenter + “.Name”, “secondTendonAnimation”, null)
SetValue(middleClusterCenter + “.Name”, “muscleBellyAnimation”, null)

SetValue(firstClusterCenterModeling + “.Name”, “firstTendonModeling”, null)
SetValue(secondClusterCenterModeling + “.Name”, “secondTendonModeling”, null)
SetValue(middleClusterCenterModeling + “.Name”, “muscleBellyModeling”, null)

SetUserPref("SI3D_CONSTRAINT_COMPENSATION_MODE", consMode)

//add shader
ApplyShader("$XSI_DSPRESETS\\Shaders\\Material\\Blinn.Preset", “”, null, “”, siLetLocalMaterialsOverlap)
SetValue(NULL".Material.Blinn.diffuse.red", 0.545, null)
SetValue(NULL".Material.Blinn.diffuse.green", 0, null)
SetValue(NULL".Material.Blinn.diffuse.blue", 0, null)

//end of script
DeselectAll()
}
