Free Blender Add-on: Select By Vertex Color

Hi! I made a free Blender add-on to help you make face selection by vertex color!

I am working a lot with vertex colors in my current project, Time in Place, and sometimes I need to recolor meshes, or I simply change my mind. Recently I was working on my Racing mini-game and realized that if I wanted to have variety of car color for the AI cars, I needed to make the base mesh have a white neutral color. This way I can shift it to whatever I want inside Unity. But I had multiple child meshes for the base car, which represent the different states of damage the car goes through. It was tedious to do everything by hand. So I made a script that can do it all with just a few clicks. Check out the video below

You can download the python script here: https://github.com/dandeliondandy/SelectByVertexColor 1. Go into edit mode 2. Open the tool window

3. Select a face

4. Click the eyedropper to grab the color from selected face 5. Click Select Faces! Done!

5b. (adjust threshold if needed)

And watch the video for a quick demonstration.
