As far as i can see it is still the same as before?

A combination of macro and workbench?

But when it is possible to get gitlab repositories into the addon manager, it would be good to get the code of the original author.

Now I can show you what I had in mind with texturing. This are two cubes in FreeCAD. One with an Texture applied, the other without a texture. freecad_cubes.png When rendering the two cubes with the Render Workbench we get a result like this. There are no textures applied render_cubes_no_texture.png...

My own suggestion would be to use FreeCAD materials for just as much as possible. They should contain everything we need: different color values, specific values for shaders, texture paths, etc Storing everything inside the material makes things easy that is true. But i think we loose a lot of flex...

Sorry but i don't get the point of your post. It would make things a lot easier for me if it were that simple. What should be simple? And what is complicated right now? I'm not going to write a separate function for all those parameters. When i look at blenders principeld bsdf it has 17 inputs. Wher...

At the moment, I'm thinking about using a wrapper class around the material dictionary Using the material dictionary directly will not work. Not everything is inside the core material. Textures for example are handled by a external workbench. So we need a dedicated RenderMaterial that can have more...

Having a dict to store the data in the class is also fine for me. But i would not use a "getFloat("xxx")" approach but instead add dedicated "getXxx()" methods like "getRoughness()" "getTextureFile()" and so on. Because this gives a dedicated API. Ot...

But I really don't understand why you pinged me for comments after you've issued a PR instead of before As i wrote in the PR it is intented for discussion. Its easier to discuss actual code than simply talk about it. :) Github makes it possible to write comments Into the code and stuff like this. T...

I created a pull request that refactors some things in the Renderer Workbench in preparation to incorporate textures from the ArchTexture workbench. The pull request is here and should be the base for discussions if this goes in the right direction. https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-render/pull/13 ...

You have to right click in the property editor

The color of the object changes but the texture is not visible. For me this sounds like a graphics card problem. Maybe setting QT_OPENGL works? https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=36087&start=10#p326098 For me it is completely unclear how I have to proceed to assign a texture t...
