Getting Texture Map colors in ICE

I swear this didn’t work the first time I tried 😉 but you can use multiple texture maps.
Just don’t use the Explorer button in the Get Texture Map Color PPG.

Here’s how (hat tip to Letterbox):

  • Drag a Get Texture Map Color into your ICE tree.
    This node will get the color from the first Texure_Map property you created.
  • Then just copy and paste that node, double-click it, and edit the name of the property (eg, change it to “Texture_Map1”).

The Explorer doesn’t want to let you use any other texture map:

2001 – The FX Tree would be introduced in the soon-to-be-announced XSI 2.0, and this softimage.com banner gave a sneak peak (on the left side, in the background very faintly, you can see a some FX Tree nodes, and on the right, you can see some FX tree scripting).

Click through the image above for a better view of what they’re talking about in this July 2001 thread from the XSI list:

And it looks all scriptable too: on the right of that same red banner you can
make out "FxTree.FileInput".
If it all turns out to be true I'll be over the moon.

Look at the interface screenshot shining through the red background at their
homepage top - definitely looks like a compositing tree!

Guess this is XSI 2.0 and not DS 5.0...
