Color Switching
I'm trying to write an expression that exchanges a red light with a blue light shader. I would like it to be random. Problem is I'm very new to expressions so any help would be great.
Thanks
Itzat

One way you could do this would be to create a random number, and if it's greater than a certain value, turn green, and less than that value, turn red.
Code:
float $value = rand(0, 100);
if ($value >= 50)
setAttr "material.color" -type double3 1 0 0 ;
else
setAttr "material.color" -type double3 0 1 0 ;
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
