Created a Mastodon account and I’m currently waiting for approval.

In the meantime, I somehow ended up building this character customizer instead of actually working on the data stream, lol.

Vertex Colours is it only for low-poly?

The best way to send a lot of data to the GPU will be through vertex data or a texture. If you want to store these ids as texture data it may be tricky, otherwise you may as well use the vertex colors directly. Even 15 year old GPUs have hundreds and hundreds of threads to operate on, processing this kind of information what it’s built for and the GPU will chew it up fast. If you are using vertex colors or find it even more difficulty to use vertex IDs to pick out another color from a list, mayb…

Switch colours with the native Godot ColourPicker
