Why we like it

Earns its place in the Superhive library for focusing on one workflow — assigning and cleaning up random colors on mesh objects — across a broad span of Blender versions.

What is Randomize Object Colors Add-On?

The Randomize Object Colors Add-On is a Blender tool built to simplify material management for mesh objects. It applies unique, randomly generated colors to all selected mesh objects, giving you a quick way to differentiate objects in a scene. Alongside assignment, it includes controls for removing and clearing the colors it creates.

The add-on can remove random colors from selected mesh objects to restore the original scene, or delete all randomly generated materials without affecting other materials. It also selects only the mesh objects that have been assigned random colors, and can invert the selection while avoiding lights or cameras. After assigning colors, it automatically cleans up unused random colors so the scene stays organized.

Documentation is provided by the developer, and a demo video is available. The add-on supports a wide range of Blender versions and is released under the MIT license.

Frequently asked questions

What Blender versions does the Randomize Object Colors Add-On support?

The Randomize Object Colors Add-On lists support for a wide range of Blender releases, including 4.2, 4.1, 4.0, 3.6, 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1, 3.0, 2.93, 2.92, 2.91, and 2.9. That span covers both current and older versions of Blender, so it can fit into established projects as well as newer setups. Check the developer's page to confirm the details for the exact version you are running before installing the add-on.

Does the Randomize Object Colors Add-On affect materials it did not create?

The Randomize Object Colors Add-On is built to leave your existing materials alone. Its Delete All Colors action clears out all randomly generated materials without affecting other materials, and after assigning colors it automatically cleans up unused random colors so the scene stays organized. The Remove Colors action removes random colors from selected mesh objects to restore the original scene. Together these controls keep the add-on's changes limited to the random-color materials it manages.

How does the Randomize Object Colors Add-On handle lights and cameras during selection?

The Randomize Object Colors Add-On focuses on mesh objects throughout its tools. Its Invert Selection feature inverts the selection of mesh objects while avoiding any lights or cameras, and the Select Meshes with Random Colors option picks only the mesh objects that have been assigned random colors. This keeps selection operations centered on the geometry you are coloring rather than on non-mesh objects in the scene.

Is the Randomize Object Colors Add-On free, and what license does it use?

The Randomize Object Colors Add-On is listed as free in this catalog and is released under the MIT license. For current licensing terms and any pricing on the developer's own storefront, visit George Kayesi's page directly. Documentation is provided by the developer and a demo video is available, both of which are useful references before you install the add-on into your Blender setup.
