Vertex Chameleon is the ultimate vertex colour toolset for Autodesk Maya!
Vertex colours are widely used in games for platforms where there isn't much memory for textures. Such platforms include: Nintendo Wii & DS, Sony PSP & Playstation 2, internet and mobile phone games. Even nextgen platforms such as PC, Xbox360 and PS3 still use vertex colours to help improve performance and save vital memory.
Vertex Chameleon gives you complete control, real-time feedback and a wealth of functionality, resulting in increased productivity and better results.
