How to make PS1-Esque graphics with Blender 2.9 (Vertex Coloring)

With the models that we make, at some point or another we have to decide how they are going to look. We have to decide how they are going to be colored, and one of the simplest ways to do it, in terms of computation and hardware, is Vertex Colors. Im going to cover some basics on how to use vertex paint, and some tricks you might not find on your own ;)

Hope you liked the video,

Here's the game that was shown off near the end:

Note for people on blender 3.x, vector color was changed to color attribute in the shading tab

thank you for making a PSX-style game that isn't a freakin' horror game. Like, I understand, it's great that they exist, but this is such a breath of fresh air. Thank you. Seriously.

Love the Spyro music in the background

Your production value is top notch my man!

Thanks, this is exactly what i was looking for! Tyring to transfer my vertex color workflow from Maya to blender and the Masking options is what was needed to make that possible. Blending multiple maps is a great bonus!

OH GOD!.. Finally a new video!
Upd: You’re growing, man. Love these illustrations

Thank you very much for these tutorials! I'm a beginner learning to model things in Blender and one of my all-time inspirations is Spyro 3. I know that "the fundamentals of a craft are universal", but your videos are focused on the style that I am trying to emulate, and because of that I appreciate them very much. I have also been watching some of your long streams and it's very enlightening to see your whole process. You are a very talented teacher and your visual explanations are getting better and better. I wish you the best! Cheers from Brazil :)

[joshuastelly]

8:41 the realization lmao, but awesome video and i watch the whole thing to learn this :)

Your channel is an absolute goldmine! There is a ton of neatly organized information in each video (I just found out about the color palette menu and my life has changed) and they are all really fun to watch

I just dream about the day when there'll be a way to simulate the vertex position rounding (jittering effect) of the ps1 inside of blender

cheers!

Good video ! For people that cannot find the "Vertex color" node, it has a different name now, it's "Color attribute" now.

[skarpantre]

This tutorial was excellent! I was amazed by how well you put everything together and explained everything :D

On the topic of when to use vertex colours, I saw a video a while back from a dude who was inspecting the scenes of some games on the Nintendo DS. They used vertex colours on the environment like on the ground and such to fake the lighting and mood, it made a tremendous difference with and without.

[crazyghost]

Such great information! We need part 2!

[Mad_Luv]

wow this channel is amazing at explaining things
