How to Generate Colorways
Step 1: Choose a Palette
Open Plugins → VS Auto Colorway and select a palette from the library, or click Import ASE to load your own.
Step 2: Select Materials
The plugin scans the open garment and lists every material found. Filter the list by type — Fabric, Stitch, or Trims — using the type buttons above the list, then check the individual materials that should receive new colorways. Unchecked materials are left untouched by generation.
Step 3: Choose a Strategy
Strategy | How colors are assigned |
Harmony | Colors from the palette applied in palette order |
Complementary | Each color paired with its complement |
Analogous | Adjacent hues from the palette |
Triadic | Three evenly-spaced hues |
Monochromatic | Shades and tints of a single hue |
60-30-10 Rule | Dominant, secondary, and accent split |
Random | Random selection from the palette |
Step 4: Generate
Toggle Mix & Match for independent colour slots per material, set how many colorways to generate — the permutation count hint shows how many distinct results are theoretically possible — and click Generate. Delete unwanted results from the tracking list.
Data & Privacy
VS Auto Colorway reads garment style/material names from the open garment to populate its UI, and writes two kinds of local files under the per-user Browzwear log directory: a debug log (palette/strategy names and material counts, capped at 2MB) and imported ASE palettes saved as JSON under config/palettes/custom/. Nothing is transmitted off-device — the plugin makes no network calls.
Troubleshooting
Issue | Fix |
ASE import fails | Check the file is a valid .ase — not all ASE versions are identical |
Colours look wrong | Some strategies use HSL math; very dark or desaturated palettes may produce similar results |
Colorways not deleting | Only colorways tracked in this session can be bulk-deleted |
No materials listed | Open a garment first, then reopen the plugin — the list is populated by scanning the currently open garment |
