How to add color to individual splines?

Question

Hello!Im trying to make twisted wires in substance designer, Ive gotten the twists well enough with spline nodes.I cant figure out how to add colors to the splines/wires, everything I've tried adds color uniformly and not per-spline. Might anyone know how to solve this? Thank you!I've attached a screenshot of my current setup

Hello Christian,

One way you can do this is by rendering your splines with a Scatter on Splines color.

Here you want to enable the color map multiplier and plug in your color map: the trick is to switch the Sampling Mode to "horizontal along spline" (with or without random offset, up to you), and to pick a horizontal noise like an anisotropic noise to distribute the colors. The Color mapping will then pick a line of this noise and assign it to a specific spline.

Hope this helps!

I feel like I didn't clarify well enough. I can add color to the splines however, I can only change every spline to the same color. Im looking for a way to have each spline be a different color please
