Color
These are descriptions of the attributes in the Color section.
Operation
Replace
Replaces existing color.
Smooth
Averages the colors under the brush. Specifically, the vertex under the brush gets the average color of the four surrounding vertices
Remove
Removes existing color.
Paint
Vertex
All faces connected with the vertex you paint over get the color.
Vertex face
Only the interior part of the face is colored. The vertices are left unshared, so that they may have different color values on either side of the edge.
Face
All vertices attached to the face get colored. The color bleeds over the edge of the face.
Channels
RGB
Painting vertices applies the Color Value.
RGBA
Painting vertices applies the Color Value (color) and Color Alpha (transparency).
Color Value
The color that painting will apply to vertices.
Color Alpha
The alpha value that painting will apply to vertices (when Channels is RGBA). Painting vertices with a Color Alpha of 0 makes them transparent. Painting vertices with a Color Alpha of 1 makes them opaque.
Flood
Sets all vertices to the current Color Value (and Color Alpha if Channels is RGBA).
