Is There A Command To Convert Hex-colors?

[ewerybody]

Hi there!

To get Colors from eg. Photoshop into Maya I always have to take the calculator and type in the R, G and B values seperately, divide them by 255 and put them in one by one. (when I want the color to be 0 to 1, I know I can turn the color chooser to 0 to 255) Or I pull my Maya window aside and pick a color from Photoshop, then put all windows where they belong again (Alt-Tab doesn't work with the color picker, it always returns white.) And picking works only from PS to Maya. The PS picker isn't that smart

however. In PS there that Hex field. And it whould save a lot of time If I simply could use that number!

And BTW: Is there a way to edit the Maya Color Chooser? I can't find it in the Maya scripts. Don't tell me its programmed
Between the 2 optionMenus RGB and 0to 255 in color chooser is still space for such a field.

I have this problem, and the only way I've come up with so far is to write a little proc for myself:

CODE
global proc float[] convertRGB(float $rgb[])
{
    float $result[3];
    for ($n=0; $n<3; $n++)

Hey Naughty!

So nothing Maya-Build in right? :[ hmm...
Hope its not too complicated..

Yea editing the Color Chooser:
You Know how it looks. What about putting a Hex-field right there:
400) {this.resized=true; this.width=400; this.alt='Click here to open new window';}" onmouseover="if(this.resized) this.style.cursor='hand';" onclick="if(this.resized) {window.open('http://show.imagehosting.us/show/722959/0/nouser_722/T0_-1_722959.jpg');}" />

Hum.. nice Idea. But first we need something to calculate the Number from Hex to 3 flaots and vice versa ;]

I got bored so I wrote this (in about 5 mins.. now I'm bored again.. )

CODE
proc int getDecFromHex(string $char)
{
    string $h = tolower($char);
    if ($h == "a")    return 10;
    if ($h == "b")    return 11;
    if ($h == "c")    return 12;
    if ($h == "d")    return 13;
    if ($h == "e")    return 14;
    if ($h == "f")    return 15;
    return (int($h));
}
global proc int[] hexCalc(string $hex)
{
    int $dec[];
    for ($f=1; $f<size($hex); $f=$f+2)
    {

Whooarrr! Hehe COOL!

It works! And thats ingenious in my eyes!!

Now I gotta new task for you:
Find a way to edit the friggling Color Chooser. But I crawled the Maya scripts: No hit for "color chooser" (wich is the Title of the window) and neither "wheel" can be found (a frame is called so there) :[
Where is that window build? I mean.. there are a lot of special controls inside. But it looks like MEL. Maybe they really programmed it. shrug

But thanks for the script! I gonna put it to my defaults
