Render vertex colors with vRsy?

#1

Hi all,

Vray has a vertex-colors texture, but I haven’t quite understood how to use it. I probably overlooked something basic here…

Does anyone know of a tutorial or walkthrough on how to set it up?

Thanks!

In case anyone wonders. I actually figured it out with the help of the below documentation.

1 Create a VRayVertexColors node
2 Change its mode to ‘Set Name’
3 Type in the set name, it’ll probably be colorSet1. To check this:
4 Select the mesh
5 Polygons menu set > Color -> Color Set Editor
6 Connect the VRayVertexColours node to the diffuse of a vray material, or any other parameter you want.

I wasn’t aware of step 3-5 myself.
Cheers
