Issues related to “Linear” vertex colors

[mbccbmjty]

Hello, after switching to Linear vertex colors, it becomes completely impossible to precisely control individual vertex color channels using tools such as the VCM which is very important for MOD creation.

If there is no solution to isolate and edit channels individually, I hope that sRGB (legacy) will not be abandoned or removed in the future.

sRGB (legacy) uses a deprecated blender function, it's possible that in future blender versions that it will not exist, which is why Spectrum decided to change the default. However, there does seem to be issues with the export, though the issue happens on sRGB exports, not on linear exports. I'm currently trying to pinpoint a different issue with the export, causing meshes to not have outlines when using a re-created color attribute. Though I don't play this game so I'm going entirely off the data, and it might not be related to the Colors at all 💤 .

Thank you for your reply. My goal is simply to isolate channels so I can precisely paint vertex colors. At the moment, with sRGB (legacy) there is a way to isolate each channel and paint vertex colors accurately, but in Linear mode it seems there’s currently no way to do this (or perhaps I just don’t know how).

You can do this with Geometry Nodes, I'm not sure how Vertex Color Master works, but it likely just needs to be updated to recognize the new blender color_attriibutes instead of the legacy vertex_colors you can read the discussion here #26 about the change.

I'll also leave a basic example of how to do this with GeoNodes. You can use separate Color Attributes as your inputs instead of static colors, so that you can actually paint them separately.
