Overview

Vertex Color Toolkit is a Blender plugin for editing vertex colors in edit mode. It supports vertex colors being used for storing arbitrary data, specifically for exporting to game engines. Instead of using brushes to paint the color, the current mesh selection is being used to paint on the surface. Similar to Unreal Engine, VCT allows for painting individual channels including the alpha channel.

Customize and manage color palettes in both edit mode and vertex paint mode.

Additional Features

The plugin provides configurable shortcuts for all the main actions. Additionally, VCT comes with utility functions like previewing vertex colors in Solid Viewport Shading.
