For runing script I used Script Organizer

I have one suggestion :)When
I have one suggestion :)
When you are using Silhouette tester closing the BGSwitcher will leave the white(black) materials. It will be nice when you closing the BGSwitcher the original materials of the objects to be restored. :) This is easy to do. If you have some troubles look the RTTAssist code. :)

No Mr Sky...
Nevermind, i still love your script, just forgot to tick "Use environment" in Viewport Background Settings...
no mr sky?
Hey,
I love your script and i bet its not the scripts fault,but mine...so...i installed it a couple of days ago and now i tried creating a daylight system with mr sky and i can´t see the mr sky in the viewport...any idea, what could cause the problem, if its NOT your script?
Hi ShiroEd
I work on big update of BGSwitcher and I hope in a month it will be ready There are fixed somehow problems with gamma backgrounds look not perfect but much better without large strips.
For now you can try to fix your background using:
Customize-Customize user interface - Colors(tab)- Viewport(dropdown menu) and find there Viewport background change color too (RGB 125 125 125) for light ui or RGB 9 9 9 for dark ui
After go to "Customize-Lock UI Layout" it will prevent changing background color after restart
Gamma?
Hi,
Just wondering if you've managed to fix the problem with Gamma 2.2 and when we might expect an update?
Also how do I get it to save my background choice when I close Max down? Both 2011 and 2012 don't save my choice by the way.
Much appreciated and great work on an awesome script!
Just theoretically
Yes I guess theoretically it is possible but the way how I imagine it, will slow down viewport :(
Who know I am sure here are experts who can do it well but don't see some sense to do it.
by the way I almost figured out how to fix problems with striped background for 2.2 gamma it is not perfect but is much better :)
great script!
i like modo gradient most of all. but is it possible to make parametric? i mean could it be rotatable like in modo?
Fantastic Script!
EDIT: Argh, never-mind, I'm an idiot. Script works fine, thanks alot mate!
There's a very good chance that I experienced MORE problems, then all the internet put together in the area of 3D and Design, and I'm inventing more of them as time passes; also good chance no one is able to solve them. Talk about being ori
