Color of standart material?

Pardon me, but I couldnt find a topic about it. Not sure if its me or the search function that isnt working very well  Huh?

anyway... lets say I want a red plastic material. So I create a red material at Sketchup and import  the model to Lumion.

the red material imported from Sketchup had no reflections or anything, thus it doesnt look like plastic.

so I will edit the material. If I chose CUSTOM MATERIAL - COLOR, then I can chose any color but I cant chose reflections, nor emisiveness nor anything like that.

if I choose STANDART material, the Sketchup material turns WHITE. And I canīt assign a COLOR to it. Only a texture. Thus, for all color materials from Sketchup (to which textures arent assigned, I would need to create a texture with that same color...)

doesnt make much sense. Wouldnt it be more interesting to be able to assign a specific color in the STANDART material inside Lumion? Or to assign different effects to the COLOR material in Lumion?

Hi aceshigh, thanks for your feedback (Adding a colour picker to the Standard material has been requested a number of times).

I am sorry for requesting it again, but when I used the forum search for COLOR and PLASTIC, it strangely returned no result! And when manually searching the forum, looking for specific threads, I didnt found any until page 3, when I gave up on the manual search Smiley

Yeah, the standard search function is pretty much useless - I can't find anything unless I use the Advanced search function. When Remko gets back, I hope he can make the Advanced Search function the default method.
