About This Tool

The Vertex Color Tool provides a focused solution to create, validate, and export per-vertex color data for 3D meshes. It supports importing vertex color arrays, assigning colors directly to vertices, and exporting color maps that align with mesh indices. This enables consistent shading, texture validation, and color-driven analysis across production pipelines.
Conceptually, colors can be applied directly to vertices or generated via gradients, with support for RGB and linear color spaces and optional color-space conversions on export. Validation ensures color channels stay within accepted ranges and that color maps correspond to the mesh’s vertex ordering. It is designed to handle missing or mismatched vertex data gracefully and to export in formats compatible with standard renderers and asset pipelines.
The tool targets artists, game developers, and CAD technicians working on shading tests, texture painting validation, and color-driven mesh analytics. Its unique value lies in fast, format-agnostic color mapping, batch processing across multiple meshes, and straightforward integration into existing workflows. Core features include per-vertex color assignment, gradient mapping, space-aware exports, and robust import/export across OBJ, PLY, and GLTF pipelines. Use cases span asset preparation, shader validation, and color-driven mesh diagnostics.

How to Use

  1. Provide inputs: vertex_colors array, mesh_format, and color_space.
  2. Choose coloring method: per-vertex colors, gradient mapping, or procedural palette.
  3. Run calculation: assign or map colors across vertices.
  4. Review outputs: per-vertex colors array and generated color map.
  5. Export: select export format and color map; save to pipeline.
  6. Import into your rendering or modeling workflow for integration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What formats are supported for import/export?
The tool supports common mesh formats such as OBJ and PLY for vertex color data input, and can export color maps in widely used formats, enabling seamless integration into rendering and asset pipelines.
How does gradient mapping work?
Gradient mapping allocates vertex colors along either index order or spatial coordinates using defined color stops, producing smooth transitions across mesh surfaces and enabling artistic shading effects.
Can I edit colors after import?
Yes. Per-vertex colors or gradient stops can be adjusted in memory and re-exported, supporting iterative shading tests and refinement cycles.
How is color space handled during export?
Colors can be kept in sRGB or converted to linear space on export to match the target rendering pipeline, ensuring color accuracy across tools.
