Change color on a character?

Unity Engine

Hi

I’d like the ability to color my character. As an example, heres a screenshot from homeworld:

How on earth did they make this system work?

I managed to find this texture the model uses ingame, but how does the system know what areas to color and what to ignore?

Your character mesh will have one or more materials assigned to it.
Depending on the shader the materials use, you may be able to set the colour on the shader.

Take a look at this…
