How to automatically assign materials to a scene #8

Hello.

After reading your paper, while using this technology, I have a question about how to assign the recommended material to the scene. Page 4 of the paper says "Automatic Workflow - randomly assign the materials to the selected objects in the scene (Figures 1 (right) and 3). This is ideal for mass-scale material synthesis, when hundreds of materials are sought." How do I use these automated workflows?

It's been a while since you posted this repository, but I'd appreciate it if you could answer it.

Hi, I am not an author of the paper. I just took the ideas from the paper with the neural networks and created the blender plugin. Unfortunately, I have not worked with Blender since finishing with this project. I don't know an answer to your question. Maybe you can mail the authors for that. But I imagine the answer might be a technical one on the Blender side. Assigning a material to an object is already implemented somehow in Blender. If you can find how to do that (either in the UI or by using python code), maybe I can help you to see how to integrate the functionality with the plugin.
