Proxy
Hello, thanks for your suggestion.
We are looking for solutions to extend ATiles script to work with proxies, but the problem is that the tiles on the edge of the object should be editable(for slicing and boolean operations) and proxies are not editable.

Suggestion
Hello I would like to suggest a feature for Atiles ... it could accept as a custom model a proxy (vray, mental ray or corona)?
I tried using a model with many polygons and it crashes.
Thank's for your attention.

Random Material ID
There is such option in "Variations" roll-out - Random Material ID.
You can also set random material ID only for one specific ID of original object without modifying others.

Option to generate random material/face ID?
It would be usefull have an option to generate a random material/element id. to use for example with a multisubobject material and the modifier material by element, or with vraymultisubtex map, or multitexture from cg-source...
What you guys think?
