Adjust Color Dialog (VertexPaint Modifier) 949
New Lay er—Click to create a new VertexPaint
layer. Clicking new layer displays a New Layer
dialog.
Delete Layer —Click to delete the current
VertexPaint layer. This removes the mo difier from
the stack.
Condense to single layer—Click to condense
all vertex coloring into a single layer in the current
VertexPaint modifier. Use this to modify existing
vertex coloring within the current modifier.
Condensing layers is a two-part operation: First
3ds Max adds a new VertexPaint modifier to the
stack, combining vertex coloring applied directly
with Editable Mesh/Polygon and from previous
VertexPaint layers according to the settings
described above. Second, it deletes any prior
VertexPaint modifiers.
If Preser ve L ayer has been turned on for a
particular VertexPaint layer, then its colors are
“baked” into the new VertexPaint modifier, but the
preser ved layer isn’t deleted from the stack.
