Question

How to programatically assign random colors to objects in 3ds max?

Answer 1

This is what I found online as a solution:

for o in $* do
(
o.wirecolor = random white black
)

Answer 2

That works well if you just want to assign a random wire color. Here is some code for creating a standard material with a random diffuse color.

for o in $* do 
( 
  m = standard
  m.diffuse = random white black 
  o.material = m
)
