Adjust specular to multiple objects at one time

Hi I am a spanish architect, very happy user of the pro subscription of D5. In my D5 videos I build the model of my projects with sketchup, and I include the surroundings thanks to a combination of renderdoc, blender and sketchup. Thanks to this technique, which I learnt in youtube, I can import a pretty decent 3d mesh of the surroundings of my project sites into D5 (visit www.javiergamez.com if you are curious).

The problem I have is that this 3d mesh may have 200 or more pieces, and when imported into D5, they all come with specular 0.3 and roughness 0.4.

These settings, specially the specular, are not good for this 3d mesh, as they provoque undesirable shines depending on the orientation of the sun.

Consequently, I have to press “I”, hit all the squares of the 3d mesh one by one and change specular from 0.3 to 0 and roughness from 0.4 to 1. One by one. It takes me hours of boring repetitive work.

It would be great if, for example, by pressing ctrl, or alt, or shift, we could select multiple objects and then alter their specular (also rougfhness, if possible) jointly.

Actually, you can already change parameters (intensity, temperature) of multiple lights.

Well , something similar for the specular (also roughness, if possible) would be fantastic for me.

Thank you very much for such a wonderful program.

Hi Javier, I also used this type of system, but I imported, if I remember correctly in SKP format, making sure that the texture was unique with the faces having only one name for the image taken from above. that is, all the topography. Then with SketchUp I softened it so that when I import it into D5 you don’t see those faces and its edges.
Then you know that there is a Transmutr program that gives you the possibility of transforming the object in OBJ or 3dmax or else in the SKP format, this can help you in the transformation by softening the topography and giving the possibility to also modify the texture.
I hope I have opened your horizons.
