To set vertex colors in Edit Mode in Blender, you need to access the 3D Viewport settings and enable vertex color display, then use vertex paint mode. Here's a breakdown:
-
Enter Edit Mode: Select your object and press
Tabto enter Edit Mode. -
Navigate to Vertex Paint Mode: At the top of the Blender window, switch from "Edit Mode" to "Vertex Paint."
-
Adjust Color: In the Toolbar (usually on the left), you'll find color and brush settings. Choose your desired color.
-
Paint Vertices: Click on the vertices you want to color. You can adjust the brush size and strength for different effects.
-
Display Options: To ensure you're seeing the vertex colors, make sure they are enabled in the viewport. This can be done in the Viewport Shading options in the top right of the 3D Viewport (the dropdown with overlapping circles). Change the shading type and ensure "Color" is enabled.
Essentially, you switch to Vertex Paint mode, select a color, and "paint" the vertices of your mesh. This allows for detailed and customized color application on a per-vertex basis.
