Tutorial Part 4: Vertex Color Lightmaps
Learn how to use vertex colors for ultra-efficient lightmaps in your Frame environments
In the final part of our environment lighting series, we explore vertex color lightmaps. This technique allows for beautiful lighting and shadows with almost zero texture memory overhead, making it perfect for mobile and VR optimization.
Why Vertex Colors?
Unlike traditional lightmaps that use image files, vertex color lightmaps store lighting data directly on the geometry's vertices. This means no extra textures to load, resulting in lightning-fast load times and smooth performance on any device.
- •Significant reduction in texture memory usage.
- •Consistent lighting across all platforms.
- •Perfect for mobile-first or high-capacity Frame experiences.
- •Advanced Blender workflows for baking colors directly to vertices.
