[Closed] Setting vertex colours

This’ll set them on a selection of meshs… check out the help file under “Understanding Texture Coordinates” and related links from there to get an overview of max’s craziness… it’s basically a dedicated UVW mapping channel…

 for SelObj in Selection do
 	(
 	defaultVCFaces SelObj
 	-- resets VC verts to same vert count and indexes as the verts on the mesh
 	for i=1 to SelObj.verts.count do
 		(
 	-- colors them red
 		setVertColor SelObj i ( red )
 		)
 	-- updates in the viewport.		
 	update SelObj
 	)
 

keep in mind that with polies you’ll want to play with polyOp – and note that there’s no .getVertColor and you’ll have to work through the generic .getMapVert / .setMapVert instead

Thanks, it is a mesh so Keith has it spot on.
