Tip: Using ICE to drive the OpenGL vertex color display

Posted on October 18, 2011 by xsisupport

Courtesy of Vladimir Jankijevic, here’s ” a really handy way of showing
arbitrary colors on a polygon mesh in the viewport, without having to create
a vertex property.”

Create an ICE tree that sets self.Color in a per-point context.
In the Material node property editor, set Vertex Color Display Property
to Color.

Cannot for the life of me reproduce this in 2011. Is this a 2012 feature?

  Yeah, looks like something introduced in 2012. In 2011 SAP, I don’t see Color in the Vertex Color Display Property list. In 2012 it’s there automatically.
