vertex paint

[hoovinc]

Hello,

When I use vertex paint in max, I can only see the effect in the viewport but not rendered. I wanted to add some dark and light spots (realtime) on my textured objects. Help.

thanks!

in material settings choose map in diffuse slot
go to material-map browser and to choose the vertex color
also to choose the vertex color channel in the uvw settings
and then to render and you will see

Thanks for replying lorenzo. Unfortunately, that's not what I was looking for. Sorry, let my clarify myself further. Let's say my object has texture already. Then go to modifier panel and add a vertex paint modifier- this gives you a brush in max and be able to paint colors on your mesh on top of the texture. Thank you.

maybe a blend material, with in one slot vertex color, and the other your material, then blend it 50% :), mayb e that works :)
