API - Changing Materials baseColor

#1

Hi again,

is it possible to change the baseColor of a material via API?
I tried the following, but it has no effect:

// before scene loading
viewer.setMaterialEditable("Some Material");

// then
var material = viewer.findMaterial("Some Material");
var color = new THREE.Color("rgb(100, 50, 120)");
material.baseColor = color;
viewer.requestFrame();

For baseColor and couple of other material properties, the material doesn’t detect the changes automatically and doesn’t automatically update uniforms that are passed to GPU. You need to call

material.setUniforms();

for the changes to take effect.

Also make sure that material.baseColorTexture is not set, because it has priority over the material.baseColor.

Works like a charm, thank you!
