Hello everydoby,

I think my problem is a little bit complex but maybe there is a genius on this forum 🙂  
I would like to paint every single face ( even in-situ models ) with a different material in the scene.  
Every material need to be automatically created ( like material-1 , material-2 and so on for every face in the project :-D)  
Is this possible with Dynamo or Python?  
I would really appreciate some help.  
Thank you very much.

Ernest

First you have to pick up all of your geometry, then taking every face in a list, you have also to make a list of material you want to apply to your project, duplicate them the same number of you facecs and then use the shuffle node to mix them and apply them to the selected faces.

You will have to randomize it tho
