Locked file texture Python/Maya shadingNode

[JohnSaleem3D]

i am getting some strange result here using the shadingNode,

whenever i create a file node thro python in maya i get the color space locked and the color space drop menu greyed out , ex.

fileNode = cmds.shadingNode("file",asTexture=True, name = "dispMap")

please see image attached, however i get the usual expected result when i create the file node from the create shader tab in hypershade

Hi!

You need a connection to Color Management.

fileNode = cmds.shadingNode("file",asTexture=True, isColorManaged=True, name = "dispMap")

Is there an easier way to set this up? Something built in the UI? Or do I just type that snippet of code in to the script editor ?

Hi!

What do you want to do, what is the problem?

I am having the same issue as the guy in the original post. The color space is locking when I connect the output of 2D textures to certain nodes. I am trying to make sure the textures are in the RAW color space but after I set it and connect it to a 2D bump for example, the color space option box grey's out. Another example is me plugging in a roughness map to an AIStandard Surface specular roughness slot. Not sure if there is any way to fix this in the UI or if I need to use a script to unlock this. Albedo map is color map is unlocked and in the same AIstandard Surface / base color . I am baffled

Hi!

1. It's not the same problem. This topis is about creating a node with a script not with the UI.

2. Please add an exact step by step instruction how to reproduce this + add an example scene.

(Here it works correct)
