I've used this. It works, but nowhere near as nice as vertex painting in UDK. Vertex painting with this tool slows down your viewport...larger meshes come screeching to a halt, so good luck using it on a large terrain or anything like that.
Also, it doesn't actually retain the vertex colors on the mesh itself (at least with this tool), but rather it duplicates the mesh and stores it in a "vertexPaintedMeshes" folder.
I really need to find some time to finish up the vertex painter I started developing a little while ago. I used Unreal's vertex painting as a baseline for features and interface/feedback, so it should be relatively familiar, with some additional handy stuff like quick primary/secondary color selection, zbrush/silo-style mouse dragging for brush strength/radius. Need to solve one or two issues with the input handling, though.
yeah that would be cool lotekk. Ive think the main problem with vertex painting in unity is that when you change the models in any way that edits verts then you loose all your vertex painting? Sometimes you need to edit models quite a bit during production and redoing your vertex painting again and again could be frustrating, I wish I could just do it all in my modelling app(3dsmax or c4d) and or somehow retain the info in unity.
Sorry for picking this up again, but any news on that vertex painter LoTekK? The simple vertex tool doesnt work on unity 3.5 and 4.0, and the one gsokol mentioned is just pure awful!

At the moment, there's nothing built-in that allows vertex painting.
