I retopologized an asset and assigned vertex colors to the original object in the node editor, then I was following this This Video, and when I got to the point where I started the link, and I got an error saying, "No active layer found in the object "RetopoFlow""
here is a screen shot:
I know the video is kind of old, so it could just be a difference in versions of Blender, or i could be messing something up. Not sure which.
Hi there! Maybe I can help. :)
I wasn't able to watch the video yet (time constraint), but maybe my experience will help you out:
If you want your vertex colors to show up, first thing is you need to add a vertex color channel like so...
Then, to get a really basic vertex color setup, here is the node layout. Make sure "name" under the attribute node is the same thing you named the vertex color label above! (In my case "Col" works well.)
Give this a try and see what happens. :)
Sorry I can't go into more detail (late for the day job lol!), but I was excited to see something I might be able to help with, so please let me know how it goes!
