Tutorial: Using Vertexpainting Instead of UV Textures

screenshot.jpgThis one’s been our todo list for a while and the tutorial isn’t too recent, but it’s a nice technique to experiment with during the upcoming weekend.

Oto the Cleaner (we covered one of his other tutorials earlier this year) explains how to vertexpaint a Lara Croft character, achieving a rather acceptable result.

It’ll cost you a handfull of extra vertices and faces but it’ll save you the trouble of creating your own UV textures :)

Take care to click on the extremely subtle navigation to the second page of this tutorial: the number ’2′ at the top and bottom of the page is a link!

    I’ve wondered for awhile what that does thanks for the post

    seeing as vertex colors doesnt cost any extra power, unlike textures, this is great for games.

    One could achieve some great “retro” looking effects with this, very nice.
