Lets you specify the settings for the Paint Vertex Color Tool in the Tool Settings editor. Attributes unique to the Paint Vertex Color Tool are described in the Color section below.

Color

These are descriptions of the attributes in the Color section.

Operation

Select the method of coloring the vertices.

Replace

Replaces existing color.

Smooth

Averages the colors under the brush. Specifically, the vertex under the brush gets the average color of the four surrounding vertices

Remove

Removes existing color.

Paint

Select the component to color.

Vertex

All faces connected with the vertex you paint over get the color.

Vertex face

Only the interior part of the face is colored. The vertices are left unshared, so that they may have different color values on either side of the edge.

Face

All vertices attached to the face get colored. The color bleeds over the edge of the face.

Channels

Select the color channel to color with.

RGB

Painting vertices applies the Color Value.

RGBA

Painting vertices applies the Color Value (color) and Color Alpha (transparency).

Color Value

The color that painting will apply to vertices.

Color Alpha

The alpha value that painting will apply to vertices (when Channels is RGBA). Painting vertices with a Color Alpha of 0 makes them transparent. Painting vertices with a Color Alpha of 1 makes them opaque.

Flood

Sets all vertices to the current Color Value (and Color Alpha if Channels is RGBA).
