Hi - I'm so sorry if this is a silly question. I'm very new to all of this.
I wanted to try and make one of the TV monitors have a blue screen so I can go into After Effects and greenscreen videos onto it for a project I am working on. When I went to recolor it, I couldn't seem to find any texture that replaced the screen itself. Is this because it is a functional electronic ? If so, is there any way to simply make this copy of the monitor nonfunctional so I can change the screen ?
Thank you guys so much !!!

Hey poptropica, you don't need to change the object's tuning, since your problem is not the function itself. The problem is the missing texture. I took a look inside the tuning and there is no texture. You have to import an image and link it as the diffuse map (Model LOD>Meshes>VideoSurface>Material/Resource/Material/Items). Add the diffuse map there and change the shader "Video Surface" (Model LOD>Meshes>VideoSurface>Material/Resource/Material/Shader) to "Phong". Repeat for every variant id and for every Model LOD. It is a lot of work... |

@ pixarativ - thank you so much !! I might mess around with it and see just how much work it is - I also have found some flatscreens that are nonfunctional already and i might just try and bb.moveobjects things to fake it. We'll see. So far I've been able to fake the monitors by taking stills, greenscreening those, then putting the videos in and THEN overlaying bluescreen footage of my sim. I'll keep using that for now ! Thanks again for your help. |
