There is a script or something that I can do to change the materials in real time, for example, I have a house and I want to the walls to change from black to white when I press “C” key, and “puff” the color changed.
I really need this for a client, and I dont know how to make it.
Thanks

Well the easiest way to do it, is to have a duplicate of the model with a different texture aplied, and then use the change mesh actuator.

The other way, if you only need the colors to change, animate the RGB value of the material and add a property to object as color changer, and play IPO for that property, let’s say with the arrow keys.
For textures, maybe use replace mesh…
Have a look…
