A focused utility that pairs random ID assignment with a straightforward way to keep chosen polys out of the random range.
EPoly MatID Randomizer is a 3ds Max script from Jon Seagull that randomizes the material IDs assigned to an editable poly object. For faces you want left untouched, it allows you to exclude certain polys by setting their ID outside the range of random values.
The exclusion behaviour is useful in cases such as random stones set in uniform grout, where some polygons need a fixed ID while the rest receive randomized values. By keeping excluded polys outside the random range, they stay unaffected while the remaining IDs are shuffled.
Listed in the ScriptSpot library, this is version 0.1 and lists compatibility with 3ds Max versions 7, 6 and 5. A demo video is available, and further details can be found on the developer's page.
EPoly MatID Randomizer is best for 3ds Max artists who need to randomize material IDs across an editable poly object while keeping selected polys on a fixed ID.
EPoly MatID Randomizer is completely free to download and use.
EPoly MatID Randomizer lists compatibility with 3ds Max versions 7, 6 and 5. If you are running one of those releases, the script is documented to work with your version. For any use outside that range, or to confirm behaviour on a newer build, check the developer's page at jonseagull.com for the most current details before relying on it in a production scene.
EPoly MatID Randomizer lets you exclude certain polys by setting their ID outside the range of random values. Because those excluded polys sit beyond the random range, they are left untouched while the rest of the object's material IDs are randomized. The developer gives the example of random stones set in uniform grout, where the grout polygons stay on a fixed ID and the stones receive randomized values.
EPoly MatID Randomizer is listed as free in this catalog. Since licensing terms can change over time, confirm the current details on the developer's page at jonseagull.com before use. The listing here reflects version 0.1, and the developer's site is the best place to check for any updates to distribution or usage terms tied to the script.
