[Request] Animate vertex colors in meshes

Thotep

I'd like to use an art style similar to Another World:

So, raw, colored polygons without textures. I believe it's not possible to achieve such effect at the moment in Spine (I could use a white, square bitmap for all slots and deform/color it, but it wouldn't look that crisp).
I'd love to be able to:

Add slots with meshes but without images,
Create the mesh (like it's already possible on an image),
Set color for specfic faces and/or vertices.

I reckon options 1 and 3 aren't available in Spine now.
What do you think about it? Would it be possible to add this? Or maybe there is some other way to create polygon-based animations in Spine now?

The white square image wouldn't cause problems at all. The mesh would just look like the polygons themselves.

What do you mean it wouldn't look that crisp?

Also, while you have to use the white image in Spine,
your game itself could use a different shader that doesn't use a texture, and a modified runtime to ignores the atlas-related parts.
It'd possibly (I'm not sure) buy you some performance. But it definitely wouldn't look any different from using the white square image.

White square would be blurred when zoomed in, while raw, colored polygon wouldn't. That's what I mean by "crispness".
Custom shader is, indeed, a good idea to get rid of unneeded texture - but I still won't be able to color the vertices/polygons in Spine. I'd like to do this in Spine, so it gets to the shader as a vertex attribute.

it feels like mostly all game sprites become bitmaps for some reason. i just dont know whats the reason :p
i can not imagine 1 game what uses real vector data from creation to engine - but i like your idea and wished it would be like this in spine as well.

It won't get blurred if you keep the UV map within the box and nowhere near its edges. This is easy to do.

True that you can't animate the colors of specific vertices though.
