Color Attributes

Color Attributes in UI

Color attributes support both 8-bit byte and 32-bit floating point colors and can be stored in Vertex or Face Corner domains. The default is using Vertex -> Color setting, to reduce file sizes, RAM usage and improve color quality.

Creating a new Color Attribute

"Vertex color" was renamed to "Color Attribute" in various places (rBeae36be3,rB07b10638).

Color attributes can be painted inside vertex paint mode or in sculpt mode using the new sculpt paint tools (rBeae36be3).
- Painting tools in Sculpt mode have advantages like masking options, face sets/masks support and faster performance. They will serve as a base for future painting improvements and modes.
- Vertex paint mode has been ported to support painting color attributes. (rB575ade22).
Using painting tools in solid view switches viewport shading color to “Attribute” (rB90042b7d).
- This ensures that the color attributes are visible when painting, without making the visualisation mandatory in sculpt mode.
Paint Brush - default brush for painting color attributes.
- Holding Shift key switches Paint brush to Blur.
- Can modulate wet paint effect for color smudging.
- Includes extra sliders to control the tip roundness and width
- Flow and Density also control how much color is applied during the stroke
