UV color assignment snapshot

VisceralD

So with me working with material ID I need a quick way to render in a way that each UV island will automatically have a random color. One color for each individual UV. I want to speed up my process and filling them in Photoshop is a waist of time for me. By render I mean that In a program as soon as I set up my UV's I can just take a snapshot and in that snapshot the each UV island will have its own color.

If you are using Maya, this is a nifty took that can help with that. http://www.creativecrash.com/maya/script/nightshade-blockout

Yes that's great and will use, Do you know if there is a similar solution to max?

I think TexTools has what you need, blockout colors by material ID or by mesh element, but it might depend on what Max version you have. I'm not totally sure if it can do colors by UV cluster, but you could probably detach parts via UV cluster, render colors via mesh element, then revert without much pain.
