If your mesh contains CPV color, PlyEdit has a number of tools for touching up or completely replacing that color information.
Color Tools
 Fig 1. 3D Paint - Clear
- The color of all faces is set to white.
- Mask
- The color of all unmarked faces is set to black.
- Recolor
- Overlays a representation of the surface shading into the color itself.
- Gamma
- Globally lighten (values less than 1) or darken (values greater than 1) the color information.
- Smooth
- Smooths the color by the level indicated.
3D Paint
 Fig 2. Step 1: Select View In this description GIMP, a free multi-platform application (see gimp.org), is used as the external 2D paintbox. Commercial products, such as Photoshop, would work just as well.
The painting process is quite simple:
- 1]
- Select a view of the polymesh that you would like to paint.
- In this situation an Ortho projection may be better than Persp as parts of the polymesh further from the camera will be given the same pixel coverage as closer parts.
- Also consider hiding parts of the polymesh that you don't want to paint. Say you have a whole creature, but only wanted to paint the head, hide the rest of the body. This will speed up the color export and import process.
