Changing vertex colours

Vib-IO stores colours using Blender vertex groups.
Each colour is represented by a vertex group named with a 6-digit RGB hex value:

FF0000 = red
00FF00 = green
0000FF = blue
FFFFFF = white
000000 = black

To change the colour of part of a model:

1. Select the imported object.
2. Go to Object Data Properties.
3. Open the Vertex Groups panel.
4. Find the vertex group with the colour you want to edit.
5. Rename the group to a new RGB hex colour.

When exporting, Vib-IO checks which colour group a primitive belongs to and writes that RGB value into the .TMD file. Vertices or primitives without a valid colour group will export as white.
