I've been unhappy for many years with the generic feel of most white massing models, and so in the past would tweak to the glazing was proper, and the rest white - and yet though this fit the architectural milieu, it failed to convey what I felt was needed; yes, we need in early massing stages to pay attention primarily to mass and volumetricity, but... material changes and accents interact with architectonics in a non-trivial way, and the classic white model eschews that design discussion.
Now I've developed a material in Modo which does exactly what I feel is needed: provides a *schematic* material emphasis using iridescence, to indicate either glazing or a discrete material or both - and better yet, it's a single material, and can therefore over-ride temporarily assigned mesh-specific materials - the differentiation of iridescence is based on poly selection sets, not poly material tags.
