Visualizing vertex colors with the Attribute node

In the basics course we already introduced the use of vertex colors with the Material-tab in the Properties-panel. What happens under the hood is that you basically add an Attribute-node to the node-network and attached its Color-output to the Base Color-input of the Principled BSDF shader-node (see images below).

The blend file for the image above, vertex-color.blend, can be found among the walk-through files in the walkthroughs/advanced/advanced_materials directory.
