(Vertex coloring is not super low res, the vertex coloring gradients need to be baked as a texture, and you need a high-res texture for that to look decent at all) |

Modulate is a shader that modulates the colors of any pixels behind it.
Description
Accepts only a $basetexture and this texture will be used to modulate pixels. Multiplies the color behind it with this surface's texture.
Tip:This can be effectively used to fake various features that Source may not support, such as vertex coloring or lightmapping on models, by creating a surface above the first one to modulate it.Warning:Expensive if multiple are used together.
