NOW IN EDIT MODE

Most of the functionality has been moved to Edit mode, as it offers more flexibility and control.

Easily Fine-Tune Object Colors

(The active color is no longer updated automatically, you need to press Refresh. This decision was made, as the operation is computationally expensive, and it was causing performance issues.)

Adjust Object Colors

Utilize Color Layers

Now supporting Blender gamma corrections.

Layers

Gamma layer correction

  • Gamma correction - Blender gamma color transformation, from Raw to Standard
  • Inverse correction - Inverse correction, from Standard to Raw

Preview and Apply Color Transformations

Custom Color Transformations are applied based on the Stack, not the material itself.

The material only provides a visual preview.

Alpha Gradients

They work for multiple objects, both in Object and Edit mode.

Alpha Gradients

Quick Access Pie Menu

To enable Quick Access Pie Menu, you need to disable the default Blender shortcut for the same key, in the Vertex Paint window.

Checkpoint

Only adjusting object colors doesn't generate undo-steps. That's why Checkpoint operator is introduced. Pressing this button generates a save-state you can later return to. Making it possible to save object at different stages of coloring.

  • Adjust object color
  • Checkpoint
  • Now you are able to undo before and after the change

If you didn't save after adjusting the object color, Blender will undo the last action performed (face selection, enter Vertex Paint mode ...)

Checkpoint

Layer Channels Override

If you remove the addon completely, or you just didn't have it installed yet, the layers might have broken channels, and all display RGBA. If you need to edit it at any point, you can use the Layer Editing Toggle.

Warning: changing channels may result in unwanted behavior, because RGB channel holds no information about the alpha channel.

Eyedropper

Added new Eyedropper functionality. You can sample any color on your screen (within Blender). It will also be copied to your clipboard (Windows and MacOS only, if you have a different OS, please let me know, I will add support for it).
