Object Color

Object color is used for the adjustments in the sub panel in the botaniq panel. Each channel is used to drive a different value.

• Season Offset
• Random Leaf Hue
• Brightness

Advantages

This approach allows the modification of values on linked assets. Different values can be set on each asset without the need to convert it into editable nor making materials unique, which would increase the .blend file size.

Incompatibility with other add-ons

botaniq materials read object color and use the infomation from each channel to set a specific material atribute. Keep in mind that other addons may use the object color for different purposes.

List of unsupported add-ons

• Scatter 5
• Addons that work primarily with viewport colors

We're currently in contact with the Scatter 5 team and plan to avoid this in the future by using named attributes

How to work around the incompatibility

By deleting the "bqn---Object_Color_bqn" node group from the shader tab and setting the values manually

Note that if you delete the node group, you won't be able to use adjustments panel anymore.
