Distributable NXT image viewer for clients ?

Hi Al

I know I am probably making work for you here - but have you ever considered providing a cut down freely distributed nxt image viewer similar to the SU viewer ?.The reason I ask this is that more and more I am asked by clients to provide alternatively interior colour schemes based on NXT renders . - lately I have been producing fairly large PS file with lots of colour layers to change appropriate elements.Now we have colour channels it would be a real boon to send a nice simple presented viewer of which they can change colour elements themselves. Certainly would enhance your `project` interior type software.

This is not urgent or at the top of my xmas list but just a thought that came to me the other day when a client asked `can I play with the colours myself ?`

Thanks

good thinking - I might try that later - would the `clay model` option help with this or will it render everything the same material - clay I presume !

Clay does keep the material names - but removes any textures so it may not work if the model uses textures.

Note, for multi colored materials, we use an "average color" concept (which is what SketchUp does when changing material colors), so it will not work for multi-colored materials to make them grey. But it may work for single-colors and single-color textures.
