Trés bien expliqué, facile à entreprendre. Mercie.
Auriez-vous un truc sur les effet miroire, mapping.
Car la j'ai du mal à comprendre sur avec l'Empty.
J'ai essayé plusieur chose pas moyen d'arriver à avoir l'effet miroire. (EnvMap).

Mercie d'avance.

This was just what I needed! Thank you!

this is really good for the beginning blenderer!

Tres bien mon amis - cheers mate...I was really getting hot and bothered with that.

Hi,

great tutorials, thank you, but this one, I think, could use some more work. For example:
You wrote: "In the Editing menu (F9 key), press the New button in the Link and Materials tab." But there are two 'new' buttons in this tab. If you don't pay attention, you could easily click the false one. Maybe a screenshot?

Je parle francais, mais seulement un petit peut *g

Yann: bien sûr! j'ai pondu un petit didacticiel sur le sujet, catégorie Guide du Raytracing: http://feeblemind.homeip.net/dotclear/index.php/2004/12/26/32-didacticiel-les-reflets

Thijs, Saitho, martin, King'O'Roff: thank you guys! All the works on this website are oriented toward beginers, I especially appreciate you loved this one!

HTTP404: thank you for your suggestion, I'll try to implement it soon

roger!

This is perfect. I just started using Blender, and was VERY confusesd. Even the most basic tutorials seemed to assume i could do this. This tutorial made me very happy. Thanks you!!

erm where is the assign button?

11. On dimanche 9 octobre 2005 à 13:22, by nr

just what i needed.
thanks a bunch!

12. On lundi 9 janvier 2006 à 06:34, by Lance

To Zaarock (the guy who asked "erm where is the assign button?")...
I had the same questions, but then I realised I was on the "Shading" menu when I should have been on the "Editing" menu. (Don't confuse this with Edit mode... it's one of the main panel buttons along with materials and things) Try pushing F9 and see if this helps.

Great tutorial - I was going around in circles wondering why my colour changes either didn't happen or overtook an entire meshs, until I read this.

13. On lundi 1 mai 2006 à 15:59, by Bluefan

Just what I needed, now I understand how this works. I tried to figure it out but this site helped me from the begin to the end. Now I suddenly fully understand.
Great site!!

This tutorial was completely lost on me. When I clicked on the face, and clicked new, the 1 Mat: 1 stayed 1 Mat:1. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

16. On vendredi 9 juin 2006 à 22:00, by Jimmy Legs

wtf this sucks @ss...
i did evrything u said
but evrytime i change colors the fcuking object just stays 1 color no matter what i do fucking shit ffs -.-
pissed me off ffs

19. On dimanche 3 décembre 2006 à 14:24, by vbnz

Doesn't work for me either. If i choose an index with 1 face selected and click assign, all the faces take the new index.

What am i doing wrong?

Réponse de olivS le vendredi 31 août 2007 à 10:38

vbnz: perhaps I don't read you carefully enough, but I think the error is obvious. First of all, you must define the various material indice (using the NEW button). Then you must select the vertice you want to assign to one material indice, and THEN press the Assign button corresponding to the index set. Then you repeat with ANOTHER set of vertice, select the material index, THEN press the Assign button, etc. ONCE you have assigned all the vertice to the various indice, THEN deselect all of them. You NOW can select an index, and push the button Select: all the vertice assigned to this index are then highlighted.

Hope this helps you further.

20. On mercredi 6 décembre 2006 à 02:35, by l3la

Merci, J'aime bien cette tut. Mais, il y'a un petit probleme avec le parti dessous:
"In the Shading menu (F5 key), search in the Material tab the button which reads 2 Mat: 1. Change the col of the Material in order to give it a green hue."

Il n'ya pas un "button" qu'il lire "2 Mat 1". C'est une "scrolling list". On dois dire "scroll through the list of materials with the arrows" ou chose comme ca.

Pardon mon francais.

21. On dimanche 17 décembre 2006 à 23:38, by dj2k

thanks for this tutorial, only i didn`t got futher than step 2, on my interface i have no face select mode, i`am using blender 2.42a. i know what the face select mode is, on the computer on my school it is there. but at home i don`t see it on my header. any idea`s?

22. On vendredi 12 janvier 2007 à 04:32, by blam!!!

perfect exactly what i needed ever since i got blender

23. On vendredi 19 janvier 2007 à 21:18, by Blender Noob

Thanks this tut was really easy and I think I will use this method a lot

24. On jeudi 25 janvier 2007 à 00:37, by Zvi

I don't know for what version this tutorial was aimed for, but in the version I have,2.41, I need to make sure that the number appearing on the left of the x (for delete), to the right of the material name, in the shading menue, is exchanged for Single User, by clicking on that number and choosing Single User.

25. On jeudi 25 janvier 2007 à 20:19, by demt

got to put 2 colours on the square but what about 3or4or5or6 i know youve told me but like quicksilver seeing is believing

26. On mardi 6 février 2007 à 05:35, by zteev

Oh brilliant,I have struggled for months wonderin how I can colour different parts that I have selected instead of always havin to create a new layer! Now i have to go & re-do all my bits as I have SO many layers for things just to use different colours! Thank you very much for this tip. Wow this Blender is addictive

27. On samedi 10 février 2007 à 18:50, by Felicius

Very cool tutorial and I was able to get it to work, but for some reason the menus look different in my copy. In the Shading mode, the active material was in the Links and Pipeline tab, and before seeing any results, I had to click the "single user" button. Oh well. :/ Anyway, it`s certainly easier than those @#$# UV maps.

28. On jeudi 22 février 2007 à 17:55, by blenerlicious

I too had the same issue when clicking on the 1 Mat 1 arrows, neither one changed. I was able to get them to change by deleting the 1 and changing it to a 2. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

29. On mercredi 28 mars 2007 à 11:19, by sprix

Finally i could get it done.. it's even better then the Die Blender tutorial. i thought it was difficult, but it was easier than UV maps.

30. On jeudi 29 mars 2007 à 20:34, by Dave

I too had trouble with this for ages. Here is what I do. Start with the cube in Object mode. In the Links and Materials tab, click on New (you will now see 2 Mat 2 - This means you have 2 materials, and you are currently looking at the options for material 2). Press Tab to go into Edit mode. Select the vertices you wish to color with material 2. Then click on Assign. Now go to the Materials screen (F5). You will see that in the materials tab, there is the name of your material (default = material) and then the number 2, indicating there are 2 users of this data (the default material and the new material you just added). Therefore, if you start moving sliders now, both materials will change. If you want just the one material to change, you need to click on the number 2 next to the material name. It will ask you if you wish to make it a single user (You do!). When you click on Single User, you will notice the 2 disappears and the name of the material changes. Where it says 2 Mat 2, click the left or right arrow buttons to go between the materials. Change the color with the sliders for each material and the two will change independently, resulting in 2 different colors on the same object. If you wish to add a second object and use the same materials on it. Simply add the object in Object mode, click new in the links and materials tab, go into edit mode and select the specific material from the list of materials and there you go. (Note that when you do this, the number of users of the data goes back to 2. Hope this helps.

31. On samedi 21 avril 2007 à 08:55, by Max

Found this tut very useful!!!
The last comment by Dave is really helpful, thankyou!!!!!!!!!!

32. On mardi 24 avril 2007 à 13:55, by Francesco

I had the problem of it staying the same colour, but discovered that I had to assign the respective colour back in Editing (F9). You have to return to Editing (F9) and click on assign, to give the face the colour created in Shading(F5). I tried to assign it first after creating 2-2 as in the tut, then went to Shading and did that but no joy.
So follow the steps as per the tut but remember to go back to Editing and click on assign for the respective colour.

I'm impressed with this discussion.I'm a beginner and badly need a tutorial of creating a 'building'. Tried heart & soul but no such tutorial on the internet. Pls someone on this forum send me a tutorial of creating a 'building'. Link of some elegant tutorial will be wonderful. Thanks in advance.
This is my email.

Thnx

34. On samedi 23 juin 2007 à 23:18, by Slim

Dave!!! You rescued me from endless confusion. I was totally lost, because the first time I tried it it worked, and then Blender crashed, and when I tried it again later, I couldn't make it work. I was seconds away from screaming at my computer and dumping the monitor over the banistor to drop 20 feet to the floor when I saw your comment. Thanks to you, my cheetah doesn't have a spotted nose anymore.

35. On lundi 25 juin 2007 à 16:02, by Astrono

Thanks for this excellent tutorial!
Now i know how to give models different materials.

36. On mardi 31 juillet 2007 à 16:32, by Trekkie

Thank you for this tutorial! I couldn't figure out how to assign different materials to a model, it was quite irritating before.

37. On lundi 6 août 2007 à 12:01, by Nilupul

Thank you for the beautiful tutorial.

38. On vendredi 12 octobre 2007 à 00:31, by kbw

Thanks for the tutorial after I read it twice I found where my mistakes were and it worked perfectly. I am new to blender and have a time with materials.

Thanks again

39. On mardi 20 novembre 2007 à 09:22, by Ryan

I tried to add different images as the material of a cube but failed. Changing material color is okie. But the images don’t get rendered out except for material 1 on top of the cube. How can I make all 6 sides of a cube display different images (jpg)?

Your help will be very much appreciated…

Réponse de olivS le samedi 24 novembre 2007 à 08:57

A quite classical issue: probably you first set a material with a texture, then assigned faces to another material index, duplicated (make single-user copy) the first material (changed the color of the new instance) but totally forgot also make single-user copy of the texture. So the answer to your question would be: browse all the materials indice and make sure that a different texture block is assigned to each of them...

40. On vendredi 18 janvier 2008 à 00:18, by womble

another good tip - i guess you can then apply each material its own texture too - am i right?

Réponse de olivS le samedi 26 janvier 2008 à 17:40

Yes, you are right. You can apply a particular material to a particular face thanks to material indices. But you have to make sure that the particular material has its own unique texture. A common pitfall is to use the same material for separate material indice, change the texture of one material indice, and see that the same change propagates to other same materials, which is obviously the normal behavior, but sometimes unexpected.
