Hi all, please can anyone advice me how to transfer color of diffuse map to vertex colors? Tryed this: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=70981&highlight=diffuse+vertex+color not working for me. Is there any script for this? I must use old tech... :) Thank you.
yeah most of the time i'm not able to assign the vertex color from the diffuse either. Sometimes it weirdly works after checking/unchecking some options but as i'm not considering myself as a max noob, my bet is : it's pretty buggy.
@EricChadwick: yep, I know that :) standard material > diffuse slot > vertex color map or object properties > display vertex colors @nezach: anyway this script works... max assign vertex colors don't.. so who wins? :P
so good news for you Noors :) this works 100% sure, just second before I decided to script it myself google revealed this to me.. I'm pretty happy cause for time it will be crucial part of my workflow..
Max will not display vertex colors in the viewport by default. You have to force it, in Object Properties, via Vertex Channel Display. Or you can use a DirectX shader that supports vertex color.
