Rule-based colour assignment
Joker Martini’s Vertex Colour Editor assigned colours per element, object or vertex in Autodesk 3ds Max. Distribution could be driven by distance, position, selection order or object name, with random assignment available as another mode.
Selection and channel controls
The tool could reverse selection order, sort objects into groups and configure vertex colours across RGBA channels. At the time of publication it was listed for $3.
Artists should test modifier-stack behaviour, channel export and compatibility with the target engine or renderer before using vertex colours as production data.
