Alternative VR Material Swatch

[john.khoury]

Hi All,

I am working on a project that requires me to have multiple colour and spawn swatches in VR. I am currently using the base material swatch as a platform to work on the FLOW nodes. I have everything working well but I was wanting to create a new Swatch that is similar to how it works in Tilt Brush, where to switch between swatches you swipe side to side.

I haven't used Scaleform before but would that be the best way to tackle this problem?

you could either spawn in new swatches to the location (probably how I would do it) or you could replace the materials on the swatches.  Either way will work fine but you should not need scaleform for this at all.  Instead its all just simply a matter of positioning.

If you want a good tutorial on how to replace materials, @dan.matlack has an easy to follow tutorial on it.

Then hard part (and where you will likely spend most of your time) is on the logic, doing the menu replacement/material swapping is actually the easy part.
