VERTEX PAINT FLIP COLOUR SELECTION

Hi Robert rrhowell1972 ,

If I understand correctly, you want to know, how to flip the two colors (black/white) of the Vertex Paint. The trick is to press 'X', while the Mouse Pointer is in the 3D Viewport. So not with your Mouse over the color swatches.

Yeah! Even though Kent doesn't say it, the screencast keys in the bottom right corner display 'x', although quite small.

Who reviewed this course? 🙄😗🎶

At about 1:46, "[...] when I switch to black, with X, in the Viewport [...]"

I need to pay more attention in class!
Scrubbing through the timeline results in lower grades, unless of course you are studying animation where it is essential.

Yeah Kent says it "with X" and it also shows it on the screen cast keys. The problem always is that the mouse pointer is always elsewhere and not on the 3D viewport when you try X and since that function is context dependent, it gets frustrating sometimes. 

Hi Robert rrhowell1972 ,

X still flips the Color swatches in 4.0!

Your problem is probably, that filling the Selection has a new shortcut.

Before 4.0 it was SHIFT+K

In 4.0 it is CTRL+X.

They changed the fill selection hotkey...yay 🙄 Thanks for sharing spikeyxxx

rrhowell1972 Going forward with CGC courses (and outside CGC), I strongly recommend using the version of Blender the course/video was recorded with. The main goal when learning is to understand the concepts. Translating the concepts to various versions of Blender is a small annoyance compared to following courses with different versions of the app.

rrhowell1972 ah yes, I could have been cleaner with my edit.

The good thing is I believe the best way to learn is to find problems and discover solutions which is what has happened

Very well said! That's the right attitude. It'll take you far 🚀
