Accessing and Modifying Object Materials via Python API #7892

Open ShaharShaki opened 6 days ago

ShaharShaki commented 6 days ago

Hi,

I’m working on a project in the CARLA simulator, and I’m trying to modify the materials of vehicle components using the Python API. Specifically, I want to increase the reflectivity of the headlights on a car.

Is it possible to access and modify materials of objects like headlights through the Python API? If so, could someone provide guidance or examples on how to achieve this?

Thanks!

Hello! our lights are only 1 mesh/object with 1 material, so you can't actually modify the material of the headlights, and then the blinkers, because one change will affect all the other lights (since its the same mesh/material). You can, in the other hand, modify the values of lights intensity or color of each light via api, (with light i mean the actual light illuminating the scene, not the mesh/material of the car lights).

If thats the case, just tell me and I'll try to help you with that.
