Could you look into submitting this add-on to the Godot asset library? This will make it easier to discover. Thanks in advance :slightly_smiling_face:

Is there any way to paint objects with a low number of vertices? Im trying to paint a basic map consisting of cubes and prisms but the Vpainter only paints when hovering over a vertex and for example for a cube has only 8 points where you can paint

The repository currently doesn't seem to contain any license. Could you add one, please? See Choose a License for more information :slightly_smiling_face:

For the record, most Godot plugins use the MIT license.

2D vertex colors are edited using a list, so a tool would be greatly beneficial. Though in some ways 3D polygonal is better because with 2D AA isn't always available (in 3.1+ it's broken if HDR is on, not available in web. Also AA is not available at all for polygons in 4.0a last I checked).

However in 2D you can animate polygons directly, both vertex positions and vertex colors... and frame or tweened style for either. So over all there's a wide possibility for style.

I similarly would like more capability for dynamic vertex colors in 3D, but I do understand it's likely beyond the scope here. Or it might not even be viable to do. For more info, a thread here.

This project helped me a lot, so I'm here to give my contribution, based on some github code, and some changes I created a triplanar shader, it needs some adjustments, but I would like it to be implemented in the project, here is the code:

HEIGHTBLEND SHADER v1.0:

The shader uses 3 textures per material:
	* M: A mask texture. R channel contains the height information, G channel contains the rougness information and B channel contains the metal information.
	* C: RGB color/albedo information.
	* N: Normalmap information.

Tested in Godot 3.4

I proposed adding MaterialX to Godot Engine. Would you be interested in this sort of integration?
