Attic:Delete/Manual/Mesh Painting

Blender offers almost too ways to paint and color your mesh:

• Vertex Painting: simple spray-painted colors onto the base mesh
• Texture Painting: paint layered on a 2D image that wraps the mesh like wrapping paper.
• Materials: a single base color of the entire mesh, including its color, transparency, reflectiveness, specularity, etc.
• Textures: mix with or override attributes of the base material. While Color is commonly affected by a texture, the texture can affect other mesh attributes, for example displacing vertices.
• Weight Painting: Visually sets the relative amount that verticies in a group are moved by a bone or a force (yes, this has nothing to do with the color of your mesh, but you use a painting tool anyway)
