Hey everyone!  
Would be useful to paint vertex alpha, shown as transparent map.  
Best wishes,  
Shu

There is no vertex alpha for now.  
But if your mesh has UVs, you can bake the mask into an opacity texture (Topology-\>Bake).

Maybe some day? Thanks for the suggestion of a workaround, but I really need vertex alpha. Can still do that on desktop, of course, but since I’m already painting vcols on iPad or iPhone, I might as well finish that.
