How to read color from an MTL?

OK, Maybe “hate” is too big a word to describe what has happened. I see you are a new user (joined three day ago), so you can’t be aware why I reacted the way I did. Let me explain:

when you click on someone’s avatar, you are shown that person’s “business card”, so to speak. One important piece of information is the number of solutions this person has provided while being a member of this forum. It is a measure of that person’s “social credit”, as this is nowadays called.

If people assign social credits to themselves (like you unknowingly did), they are in effect cheating the system. This is an ongoing nuisance which I raised with @Mugen87 before. So this issue has a history which dates back before your time here started. In that regard you received some “fire” for which you weren’t the intended recipient. I apologise for that.

I think you are skipping a few important steps here:

You presented the forum with a problem, for which you were asking a solution. Several people jumped in, to provide their input. Even if those inputs didn’t solve your problem right away, they still contributed, by way of elimination, to narrow down the space in which to continue the search for a solution. Eventually the space became so narrow, that you were able to find the solution.

You are probably implying, that by having spent time on this you somehow “deserve” that credit.

Just remember, that every single person giving answers here has acquired their knowledge by “having spent many days” struggling to find out how things work.

I see that you have withdrawn the post I’m answering. You successfully got my post cancelled. it is not without a certain piquancy that the only one who could change something here is exactly the one who was able to block my post as well as give your (now deleted) post a “like”.

So it seems we have to leave it at that.
