I am using vertex color to create the colorID map for Substance Painter. I canot use materials for this, because I use materials to define Substance Painter's textures sets (there is no other way for the latter as far as I know). Is there any way I can view the vertex color in the viewport, when I am editing the model in the 'Edit mode' instead of the colors of the materials?

$\begingroup$ It should be possible to select Attribute node with mentioned vertex colors, press Ctrl+Left click to preview selected node and then enter Material mode in 3d viewport (essentially previewing material but when it's set to show vertex colors). $\endgroup$– Mr ZakApr 1, 2017 at 15:46

$\begingroup$ Could you show a guide/explain in details how to do it? I am new to blender and it is really hard to even try to follow you. $\endgroup$– cubrmanApr 1, 2017 at 17:19

In Blender 2.8+, select Solid viewport shading and click the arrow button to bring up the viewport shading menu. Set Color to Vertex. Setting Lighting to Flat may also be helpful.
