I was working on some meshes with the vertex colors made inside 3dsmax when I discovered that just using the
Right click > re-import will not update the vertex colors of the static mesh.
It wont update the mesh in the editor nor in the browser.
I did a few tests and let another person try it as well to confirm it.
Original Vert colors
Edited vert colors:
but the mesh will not take the edited vertex colors and keeps its original ones.
If I actually Import through the Content Browser and check “Replace Vert colors” it will work.
I assume that this is a bug.
