How to get all collectons list
To get a list of collections with all internal collections, we can use the following function:
|
1 2 3 4 |
def collections(collection, col_list): col_list.append(collection) for sub_collection in collection.children: collections(sub_collection, col_list) |
Random Per Island
In Blender 2.82 we can get a random index of UV islands in the Shader Editor through the “Geometry” node
Works only for the “Cycles’ render engine.

Some times we need to make a render of the scene with the single material, for example, for clay or wireframe renders. Blender has the global materials override option for the Cycles render engine in the “View Layer Properties” – “Override” but not for the EEVEE render engine.
Quick materials override for the EEVEE rendering engine can be made with a small script, as shown in the following video:
