Wirecolor Tools earns its place in the scriptspot library as a focused utility for artists who lean on the Wirecolor render element, bundling swatch picks, randomized assignment, and gradient sorting into a single script.
Wirecolor Tools is a 3ds Max script from JokerMartini for setting the wire colors of objects in a scene. Wire colors can be used to mask out objects in your renders, which is useful when compositing final images in applications like Photoshop and adjusting or color correcting individual elements. To carry the colors through, include the Wirecolor render element when rendering; most render engines support this render element type.
The script offers a quick pick from 24 color swatches along with several random wirecolor modes. Random colors can be applied across all or selected layers, based on the materials applied to objects, or per object across the whole scene or the current selection.
A gradient section applies a gradation of wirecolors to objects, with customizable start and end colors. Clicking the gradient bar flips the colors, and right-clicking assigns a gradient color to the selected objects. Gradient assignment can be sorted by selection order, name, hierarchy, bounding box volume, or X, Y, and Z position. The script supports 3ds Max 2012 or newer.
Wirecolor Tools is best for compositing and post work where wire colors are used to mask out objects in renders for further adjustment and color correction.
Wirecolor Tools is completely free to download and use.
Wirecolor Tools supports 3ds Max 2012 or newer, so it runs on the 2012 release and later versions. Within that range, the script handles wire color assignment through 24 color swatches, random wirecolor modes across layers, materials, and objects, and a gradient section for applying a gradation of colors. For details specific to your 3ds Max build and the current release, check the developer's page at jokermartini.com.
Wirecolor Tools is listed as free here in the catalog. For current licensing terms and the latest release, visit the developer's page at jokermartini.com. The script is version 1.0 and covers wire color assignment through 24 color swatches, randomized wirecolors across layers, materials, and objects, and gradient wirecolors with customizable start and end colors. It also offers several sorting methods for how gradient colors get assigned to objects.
Wirecolor Tools sets wire colors that you can use to mask out objects in your renders when compositing final images in applications like Photoshop. To carry the colors through, include the Wirecolor render element when rendering your image; most render engines support this render element type. Once objects are separated by their wire colors, individual elements can be further adjusted and color corrected in your compositing application.
Wirecolor Tools includes a gradient section that applies a gradation of wirecolors to objects, with customizable start and end colors. Clicking the gradient bar flips the colors, and right-clicking assigns that color of the gradient to the selected objects. Gradient assignment can follow several sorting methods: selection order, name, hierarchy, bounding box volume, and ordering by X, Y, or Z position.
