Color per vertex to texture map or software render

[kdklohn]

Hi all,

have a PLY model with color per vertex type texture, which I can only render with hardware render. Any ideas on how to either convert color per vert to texture map or render with software render (is layering/multiple passes an only option?)

thanks,

The Paint Vertex Tool allows you to export an attribute map. You can export a map and reuse that as a color texture.

Also mentalray reads vertex colors if you wsh. Tough writing your owns shader that does this for maya software rendering isnt hard especially since they shoip a exmaple you can use almost verbatim to do this,
