Solid Color Randomizer earns its place in the superhive library for turning scene readability into a one-click task, with control over saturation and brightness that Blender's built-in Random View doesn't offer.
Solid Color Randomizer is a Blender addon from Nanomanpro that randomly generates colors for selected objects in Solid Mode view. A single click assigns random colors to your selection, which makes it easier to read and navigate complex scenes. Using the Select Grouped - Color command, you can identify and select parts of a model that share the same color.
The addon adds an SCR tab to the side panel with settings for the saturation and brightness of the generated colors, along with a color field for quick edits and buttons for users who lack free hotkeys. You can assign the same random color to objects belonging to individual collections, with the Scene Collection excluded, and a button restores the default white color to selected objects. The Set Random Colors operator assigns various random colors across a selection.
Unlike Blender's built-in Random View, which is a display mode covering all separate objects with no control, Solid Color Randomizer lets you choose which objects to color and the saturation and brightness range to use. Documentation is included, and a demo video is available.
Solid Color Randomizer - Addon is best for blender users working with complex scenes who want to color objects in Solid Mode for clearer identification and selection.
Solid Color Randomizer - Addon is completely free to download and use.
Solid Color Randomizer supports Blender versions 4.2, 4.1, 4.0, 3.6, 3.5 and 3.4. If you run one of these releases, the addon should install and operate as described. It works within the Solid Mode view and adds an SCR tab to the side panel with settings for the saturation and brightness of generated colors. Before installing, confirm your Blender version falls within this supported range, and check the developer's page for details on newer releases or any additional requirements not listed here.
Solid Color Randomizer differs from Blender's built-in Random View in the amount of control it offers. Random View is only a display mode covering all separate objects, with no control over the result. Solid Color Randomizer instead lets you choose which objects to mark with colors and set the saturation and brightness range used when generating them. It also includes a Select Grouped - Color command, so you can identify and select identically marked parts of a model directly, rather than relying on a fixed display mode.
Solid Color Randomizer is distributed under the GPL license, the same license Blender itself uses. GPL governs how the addon can be used, modified and shared. For the specific terms that apply to your situation, and for any conditions tied to redistribution, refer to the developer's page and the license text bundled with the download. Documentation is listed alongside the addon, which is a good starting point for setup and usage details before you rely on it in a project.
Solid Color Randomizer is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing and availability can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current terms before downloading.
