hopefully missing something obvious but can't seem to find a way to do this?

is it possible to do a simple CC (a hue correction) to a diffuse map?

Hey Dingbat,

make the Diffuse node a "Colour Correction Node", then put your diffuse map into the input node.

thank you. that works but unfortunately it's not at all user friendly.

size from AC material is not carried over so it takes way too long to set up (texture size, origin etc).

ideally need a way to simply CC an already existing material without changing existing parameters.

Hi Dingbat,

my workflow is to first "copy" the diffuse node, then change it to a CC node, then select the input channel and "paste", which then automatically picks up all of the original diffuse channel settings from ArchiCAD. It's pretty seamless.

Cheers, Dan.
