Tips

Baking vertex color

• Go to Vertex Paint mode, there you'll find Dirty Vertex Colors under Paint. Start it and it'll bake AO on the vertex colors.
• Unwrap your object if you haven't already and Assign a Material and an empty Texture.
• Select Shadeless under shading in the Material tab.
• Down at options in the Material tab select Vertex color paint
• Go to the Render tab and click on Bake.

Apply material to multiple object

• First apply the material to one of your objects.
• Select all the other objects. Make sure that the initial object you gave the material to is active (Lighter pink)
• Hit Ctrl+L to bring up the links menu. Choose Materials.
• Bingo. They all have the same material.
