Godot 4.4: Vertex colors import correctly but render as black in shaders and materials

Vertex color import problem

As you can see in the screenshot, that toggle is axctually on - it’s also doesn’t seem to work in a custom shader.

Vertex Color not imported if mesh has a material

Godot Version 4.3 stable and 4.4 stable Blender 4.3.2 and Blender 4.4.0 Question I’m trying to setup a workflow in blender to godot, where I would be using a combination of texture painting for the object, and vertex color information in order to pass some data to a custom shader. The issue I have with this is that the vertex color info seems to be disappearing from the moment I put a material on the blender object. I use the blend file in the godot project for this post, but I did test with…

Seems to me others are having similar issues but no fixes.

I’ve got “it working” now, but it doesnt allow for fast iteration speed, as the process to import the updated vertex colors is so weird, I don’t know exactly how I did it, just that I did it (rebuilt the scene the mesh was in from scratch, readded the script, material, ran the scene, updated the scene, pray its updated in main scene editor).

Should I report this as an Issue to the github repo or wait for a wizard to hopefully appear here?
