Hello!
okay i have been working on a project for a while, the mesh consists of separated objects(lets call them parts) and im trying to give each part a different random color from a color ramp because each part path color has a purpose. Separating the mesh into different single meshes is not an option, my pc cant handle the pressure and then the program crashes not to mention it becomes extremely difficult to control the scene. Also particles is not an option.
I would really appreciate any help and thanks in advance!!
here’s some images on what im trying to do…

You don’t need the White Noise it works without it, but using it gives you a seed value or animation with keyframes when adjusting the W value in 4D…
