How to add random UVW mapping to a number of identical objects

[Alyosha]

Hey,

 

 

I've come across a problem a couple of times already that I've so far had to solve manually.

 

For example, there is a porch that consists of a number of planks, i.e. 50...

 

Now, while each of them has the same wood texture applied to it, in order to add realism and dynamics I would like to add a random UVW map/gizmo position to each individual plank.

 

How can I do that without manually adjusting and repositioning UVW map on each individual plank?

i asked the same thing a while back and someone wrote a nice little script for me here
