Okay, i'll try to explain this as best as i can. I use blender for modding Grand Theft Auto 5 vehicles. One of the things that i find tedious to do in ZModeler 3 is vertex paint (because manually selecting verts takes way to long and blender has much faster ways of doing this) Regarding the vertex paint, i need to be able to edit individual paint channels because they all correspond to different functionality within the game. i.e: R - Ambient Occlusion, G- Deformation Modifier, B - Burn Map. The issue that i am currently having is that i need to be able to paint selected verts on the R channel to Red 204. With G and B being ignored. The problem is, when i do this (and i am forced to leave G and B to 255 because the isolation option has no color options, just some "brush settings" that do not convert at all to color, that i can see) it paints the other channels selected verts to 255 as well, which in-turn ruins deformation and burn in game. Now, i think they are manually fixable, but its generally pretty tedious having to work backwards when working on my projects. And vertex painting in ZModeler 3 is def not an option at all. I have a few proposals for how this can be fixed:
Either set brush settings to an actual color value in isolate channel mode (V in HSV doesn't make any sense, i just need Red 204 and then the rest to be completely ignored / not edited.)
Doing this: https://prnt.sc/vjk0jh (highlighted in blue) should mean that only R channel is active therefore only R channel is edited regardless of what the RGB values are set to in the color picker. If you want to edit multiple channels at once, you hold shift to turn on those other channels.
Theres a chance i am just incompetent or didn't really explain this issue very well, but hey, i tried. Would very much appreciate a fix / patch to this addon so i can further speed up my vertex painting workflow. I really love the addon, and appreciate all the work that has gone into it :) Andy, if you would like further explanation of the issue at hand, please feel free to contact me on Discord : 13Stewartc#9365, i'd be happy to show you what my issue is directly. Thank you -13Stewartc
