Vertex Painting is a simple way of painting color onto a Grease Pencil object,
|
|
by directly manipulating the color of points/vertices, rather than use only the materials base color.

Stroke with original base material color (left) and with vertex painting (right).
|
|
|
|
When a point is painted, the color of the points is mixing with the base material color according to
|
|
the settings of the brush.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
A vertex in Grease Pencil is called point. Point and vertex names are equivalent.
