color doesnt work

I am trying to change the color of an object but it doesnt seem to show in the view. My diagnostic shade is set to vis. I am following a trutorial in which a person was changing colors like this I just cant figure out what Im doing wrong. I am using the free for 3 years student version.. Am I missing something simple?

 

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

First you must select the object you want the color changed. While it is active (selected), change the color on the sliders. This workflow is for MULCOLOR, so that u can have different objects with different colors.

 

If  you are using the VIS options at the bottom, the what you need to change is the actual MATERIAL of the objects, done through MULTILISTER/SHADER.

 

Bye

I am doing exactly what the woman in the video was doing. I made a video to show here:

also the colors do not work on mulcol either. 

 

I have not learned about different materials yet.

Hi.

You are using VIZ shading option, and that will not make your objects colour change, because VIZ uses the actual object shader color and properties.

Here is a little video I just made quickly. Hope it helps.

Good luck.

Wow thanks so much for doing this, that helps a lot. 

 

I think I may have missed something in the videos because when they play the entire right side of the video is cut off:

Not sure if its just me or if it happens to everybody.

 

Thanks again.
