Hopfully this should solve some issues people have with vertex painting in Unity. We're still adding features but it's pretty fast already and we've used it in production for a game where everything is vertex painted.
Sound up on the unity forum if you have any ideas for features

Our game is full bright and relies heavily on vertex colors. I don't like any of the existing options and I need to be able to assign vertex colors in engine, not Max due to the way our levels are laid out.
( if i copy one object and want to paint different vertex for each object from the same instances)
That's what i would want to do too.
long answer: it stores vertex colors independent of the meshes, duplicating an object will require you to add the new object to the paint group, but otherwise it will retain the original instances
that said, changing the vert count of a mesh will break vert colors on an object currently. in a future update we'll have functionality for storing transfer info so that you can retain vertex colors across a vert-count change. however, you can currently copy vertex colors from one mesh to another using the Radial Blending function.
Clean, User-friendly interface
Forgive my ignorance, but how difficult would it be to use this with custom shaders, like Skyshop, Chickenlord's Shader Bundle, etc.?
If the shader doesn't support vcolors it is relatively simple to include vertex color support. The simplest way is to multiply the vertex colors by the end result of the shader you're modifying. Here's how you do it:
In the Input structure of a surface shader, make sure you have "float4 color : COLOR". Here's an exmaple of an Input structure with vertex colors included:
struct Input { float2 uv_MainTex; [b] float4 color : COLOR;[/b] };Then, to multiply your vertex color by the result, multiply IN.color by the Albedo. Here's an example:
void surf (Input IN, inout SurfaceOutput o) { fixed4 tex = tex2D(_MainTex, IN.uv_MainTex); o.Albedo = tex.rgb * IN.color; }Each shader is different, but this is the general makeup of Unity's surface shaders so in most cases that should be applicable. Hope that helps!

We've got an update with some bug fixes and perf improvements but I'm not sure what new features are making it in now.
