Project 2 Movie

Description

I chose to automate changing the material properties of glass window panels for my second project. In Project 1, I had to manually change the material properties in all of the windows, which was very labor intensive. Therefore, I wanted to automate this process. I tried to use the three different methods discussed in class, but the first one using image read was unsuccessful. After much time and help from Dr. Wei Yan, I managed to create working Dynamo programs for the other two methods. My results are below in this blog.
