*UPDATED*

Hiya,

VertexColourPlus is a brand new set of tools for Maya to assist those who are frequently working with vertex colours. We're thinking this will mostly be games developers, especially games on lower-end hardware like the Wii, DS, PSP, Mobile phones, etc..

It's not finished yet, but we thought it'd be good to get a preview version out there so you can try it out and see what you think. All feedback highly encouraged.

Below are screenshots, a list of it's features, and download links:



Apply Color extended



RGB, HSV, BC adjustments via realtime updating sliders



More colour channels, Levels, realtime updating adjustment sliders



Channel tweaking tools with filters at the bottom.



Gradient tool



Blend Modes



Shortcuts to common tools (and their options by right-clicking) and channel invert filters.



Colour Inspector updates in on selection change.


Here are some of the features:

• auto installer and uninstaller
• supports Windows 32bit Maya: 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 8.0, 8.5 & 2008 (ext 1+2)
• supports Windows 64bit Maya: 8.5 & 2008 (ext 1+2)
• colour sliders which update the mesh in realtime for maximum visual feedback
• colour sliders include:
  • Red, Green, Blue, Alpha,
  • Yellow, Cyan, Magenta,
  • Hue, Saturation, Value
  • Brightness, Contast
  • Levels
• channel button adjustments for small tweaks
• sharpen and blur filter
• erode and dilate filter
• an apply colour tool with:
  • synced RGB and HSV sliders
  • Photoshop blend modes
  • ability to paint (thought at the moment this is slow)
  • colour swatches including alpha
• gradient tool:
  • X, Y & Z axis gradients
  • spherical gradients
  • standard gradient repeat options
  • Photoshop blend modes
• shortcuts to common Maya operations
• channel inverter
• a colour inspector which gives details about your selection:
  • min and max channel values for RGBA
  • average colour
  • number of colours
• grab colours from normals

That's it so far. Let us know anything else which is a must-have.
