Creating a script to import appearances into the Favorites Appearance library.

[saccade]

I have a number of textures that I want to import into the favorites library. Rather than do this through the appearances editor, I'd prefer to write a script that I can do this in a batch mode. Is there any way to do this through the API?

You can add appearances to the Favorites list using the API. Here's a simple example. You can edit the library and appearance name to make it work for any appearance. The appearance has to have been downloaded. Currently, the API does not provide access to materials or appearances that have not been downloaded.

# Get the library.
appearanceLib = app.materialLibraries.itemByName('Fusion Appearance Library')

# Get the appearance.
appearance = appearanceLib.appearances.itemByName('Paint - Enamel Glossy (Red)')

# Add it to the favorites list.
app.favoriteAppearances.add(appearance)
