Tool Properties

The Vertex Color Brush paints colour onto the vertices (corners) of brushes. The colour blends smoothly across each face between its corners, so you can darken the base of a wall, add grime to a corner, or tint part of a surface without a new material.
Using it
- Select the brushes to paint.
- Pick Vertex Color Brush and choose a Color.
- Click and drag over the surfaces. The brush's Radius and Strength decide how far and how strongly it paints.
- Shift+X picks up the colour of the vertex nearest the brush.
