[Plugin] Extrapolate Colors v1.0
-
Chris this plugin rocks however not being able to use it on components is causing me some serious difficulty if I explode all my component blocks to the outside edge in the render then the textures are no longer tiled correctly for some reason, any idea of a work around?
-
Hmm, could you upload a model that is not working right? I'm sure I could get it to work for you.
-
Hi mate sorry it wont let me upload the model says its to big (5mb)

Sooo close to have this work for me, but not having the ability to apply the random colors to components/groups is disheartening. Basically I have a building model with >24000 of the same components making up a facade element on a building I'm designing (student) I tried a workaround with a vray material utilizing a material made of up the bars of colors that make up the facade, but the low resolution, and the large size of the material made that a no go. Is there anything out there that could possibly take that color palate, and randomly apply (weighted or not) the colors to all like components? I really don't want to go through and apply each color separately as I can see that taking at the very least 4 hours to get it right. Anyway, thank you for the plugins you have made, I use several of yours along with a collection a others I've found here it's a wonderful resource!

All right, here's a new script called Extrapolate Colors.
Description This script finds materials used in a set of selected faces, and then randomly applies those same materials to all selected faces that have no material applied.
Usage Run the script from Plugins > Chris Fullmer Tools > Extrapolate Colors.First select a series of faces, at least one needs to have a meterial applied to it. Then run the script. The script will find all materials in the selection (only materials applied to faces though). And it will randomly apply those materials to all faces in the selection set, leaving faces untouched that are already painted.
Note that the script works on raw geomtery. It does not work on groups or components (but it does work on raw geometry inside a group or component if you are editing a group/component).

PS I've Got quite a few color scripts. I might package them all togther, with some added featires intoa Web dialog based color script and charge a little for it. We'll see though.
