    Is there a difference between vertex colors and materials, especially in terms of appearances and if so, do they increase render calls/geometry buffers?

    Hi c4cc,

    Using vertex colors instead of textures can save you video memory, make the app load faster, and improve performance somewhat. Check out this optimization advice for further details.

    I agree with this. But what about vertex colors vs materials? Which improves app performance, especially memory?

    There is always a “material” applied to the model surface. The question is that with vertex colors you can have this material as simple as possible and without textures. :good:

    Thanks. On a separate note, what is the point of baking textures, if it doesn’t save video/browser memory? Any benefits of baking textures?
