ok so what i cant figure out is why my vertex painting is not showing up in the render?

There’s a material button called Vcol, select that to use vertex colors as the mesh color.

ive noticed that when I use vertex painting the objects are rendered brighter than I want them to be, is there a way around this?

Use darker colours:D
Or it might be something to do with your lighting setup, try using less or dimmer lights.

well what i mean is, its only brighter with vertex colors enabled, and I was wondering what was up with that. It also apears lighter in the box that previews your texture/colors on the bottom of the screen

There’s two vertex color buttons, one treats them like they’re emitting light and another simply changes the material color.

You may have Vcol light on by mistake.
