is there a way to use the vertex color to make uv islands?

thanks of any help.

I do not think unless another experienced user knows of one.

 You could turn down the retopo mesh opacity and use the vertex color as a guide...

1. Do you want to use vertex colors of a reference mesh as a guide to UV seams on retopo mesh, or do you want to use vertex colors of retopo mesh as a guide to its own UV seams?

2. I'm curious, why do you need to do it this way? This seems to be a very non-standard workflow which doesn't make much sense to me because of topology differences between reference and retopo meshes, unoptimized results, etc.

Anyway, in 3D-Coat it is not possible to do what you ask for, though you can do it in Houdini for example.

thanks, forget about it what I needed was another feature that im asking about in another thread
