Automatically assign new color/style to cut objects?

Hi Michael,

I guess this is a feature request, or perhaps this functionality already exists in MoI?

It would be nice to have a function that automatically assigns a unique low saturation color to objects as they are cut or a Boolean operation occurs, similar to how ZBrush’s Slice Curve assigns a different color poly-group?

This would make for some nice and fast visual separation of parts.

Wondering if anyone else might find the functionality useful?

More a nicety than a necessity. :)

Thanks,

That probably would not fit in very well with how MoI works - MoI displays colors by the style assigned to object. To make new unique low saturation color it would mean generating a new style each time and the styles list will probably get long and unwieldy.

I can see that not working well with the workflow for sure.

Being a complete noob when it comes to coding and scripts, how difficult would it be to implement a script that could perhaps be made into a shortcut command to randomly auto assign preexisting styles / colors to selected objects?

Thanks,

I attached the example GIF (Only as example to the colors) I meant to attach yesterday but could not figure out how to on mobile.

Michael, this is perfect, exactly what I was hoping for!

Thank you!
