Thanks all for your input, been a great help.  So basically you CAN do it but
the scripting overheads and limitations mean it may not be worth it.

 Subject: [Dir3d-l] Vertex Colours


 Hi all,

 I have seen many posts/requests about vertex colours in Dir3D,  whats the
deal???

 I pretty much thought that Dir3D couldn't display vertex colour data at all
until I came across the definition for newMesh:

 member(whichCastmember).newMesh(name, numFaces, numVertices, numNormals,
numColors, numTextureCoordinates)

 Where numColors:
 numColors is the optional total number of colors used by all the faces. A
color may be shared
 by more than one face. You can specify a color for each corner of each face.
Specify colors for
 smooth color gradation effects. Enter 0 or omit this argument to get default
white color per
 face corner.

 Has anyone used vertex colours in Dir to display radiosity solutions etc??
Is the problem with using vertex colours that the W3D exporter does not export
the colours?

 Tnk,

 GM
