Would be nice to have a pallet of colors to choose from (for people baking vert colors as ID maps).

that is something i could add with support for customizing the color palette

Can I apply Vertex color on just the selected vertexes under the Editable poly modifer. Only want some of the vertexes be shaded.

i believe the modifier only works on the entire object.

The script is great for objects with a small poly counts. I just wished it worked for large amounts of elements (Eg: Trees) in a way that the Data channel and other modifiers can.

Thanks for the feedback Peter. I’ll look into further optimizing the performance to increase its responsiveness for larger meshes. Autodesk is in the process of making this easier to do from a development standpoint so keep a look out for an update to this tool 🙂
