Hello World,

I recently stumbled upon 3ds pivot painter for unreal.  
Is there an alternative for mobile platform to produce similar results. ?

Well, there is no dedicated tool for that, but generally same principles apply. You want some data to be stored in mesh’s vertex colors and UVs to be later used in material in corresponding way. You can design such system on your own, including a way to automate the process in your content creation software, or hire someone to do that for you. The way pivot painter operates is not restricted to desktop/consoles.
