View vertex color in edit mode instead of material color? I am using vertex color to create the colorID map for Substance Painter. I canot use materials for this, because I use materials to define Substance Painter's textures sets (there is no other way for the latter as far as I know). Is there any way I can view the vertex color in the viewport, when I am editing the model in the 'Edit mode' instead of the colors of the materials?
In Blender 2.8+, select Solid viewport shading and click the arrow button to bring up the viewport shading menu. Set Color to Vertex. Setting Lighting to Flat may also be helpful.
