Automatically assigning colour to lots of small parts
Hi, I have a model with lots of small non-connencted colour islands. Each is a seperate geometry part, imported as a single object.
They are named based on the colour I would like to assign them - is there an easy way to assign them to all parts of the same name?
I have tried to find way of selecting all parts with the same name (currently a manual, tedious process with 50+ parts), rearranging parts by name, or assigning a colour/tool based on the part name automatically (maybe a regex).
Any suggestions?
Thanks
RE: Automatically assigning colour to lots of small parts
Great question! Automating color assignments based on part names can save a significant amount of time. Consider using scripting or a custom script to go through all objects, confirm their names, and assign colors as needed. In Blender, for example, you could create a Python script that effectively matches names with colors using a dictionary or regex. If you're using another program, seek for similar scripting or batch selection tools. I hope this helps to streamline your workflow!
