Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Changing colour of a curve?

Hi

How do I change the colour of a nurbs curve? I can't seem to asign a shader to it. Im rigging a character and want to colour coordinate the controls.

Thanks!
Simon

Hmm… maybe put it on a layer and change the color of the layer?

As Jr. Who said, putting curves in layers and changing the layer curves would be the best way to go about it.

Must have been doing something wrong as it worked that time. Thanks! Is there a way of hiding all the layers? I'm trying to make the rig like TSM2 which doesn't have layers for every colour.

well you can do it one layer at a time, by just unchecking each layer's visibility... as far as all at once, not sure. don't have maya in front of me (or have it on a computer with an internet connection anymore <sigh>) so i can't play around til i get an answer for ya, sorry.
