Quick Vertex Color is a Blender add-on that automatically assigns vertex colors to loose parts (submeshes) of an object based on their dimensions. It is particularly useful for workflows involving repeating components, such as bolts or mechanical details, where consistent and grouped color assignments can aid in material ID mapping or texture baking. With support for color persistency, the add-on ensures stable results across editing sessions, making it suitable for integration with tools like Substance Painter or Mari.

Key features:
• Automatic Vertex Coloring: Assigns vertex colors to each loose part within an object, grouping them by similar dimensions.
• Material ID Workflow Support: Enables export-ready vertex colors for baking ID maps in external tools like Substance Painter or Mari.
• Dimension-Based Grouping: Repeating components with similar size and shape receive identical color assignments.
• Color Persistency: Recoloring affects only edited objects, ensuring consistent color assignments across multiple sessions.
• Non-Destructive Editing: Maintains existing color data for unchanged objects, even if they are part of the current selection.
