About colorized textures

SketchUp’s Ruby API bakes non-affine (quadrilateral) texture transformations and color modifications into the exported images. This is because many file formats and external applications might not support these features the same way as SketchUp does. There is unfortunately not much control over this. SketchUp supports two ways to adjust a material’s appearance, so-called colorize types: Colorization will turn all pixels monochrome in one single color tone with only variations in brightness. …

How does colorised texture work?

We should probably document this in a page in the documentation. Let start here in making the first attempt - let me know if you need more details. (EDIT: We now have documented it: GitHub - SketchUp/sketchup-colorize-algorithm: Explanation of SketchUp's colorization algorithm) SketchUp perform two types of color adjustments: If you set a material color for a textured material via the Ruby API’s Sketchup::Material.color= it sets the type to Sketchup::Material::COLORIZE_TINT. You can toggle…
