1.9 do i need a custom renderer to color BakedQuad

[UberAffe]

Not sure exactly what I need to do for this to work. I am trying to dynamically create a model during run-time (after postInit).

Here is what I have current:

DraftableModelLoader implements ICustomModelLoader
DraftableModel implements IModel
DraftableBakedModel implements IBakedModel
DraftableOverrideList extends ItemOverrideList

//used by DraftableBakedModel
IDraftable#GetParts returns List<IPartType>
IPartType#GetBakedQuadsWithOffset(int offX, int offY, int offZ) returns List<BakedQuad>

//used by IPartType 
ILuxin#GetColor() return int[]

It is at the point where I believe my model is getting used in-game. However my model seems to be invisible(textureless). Here is an example of how I create the BakedQuads in the IPartType

GetBakedQuadsWithOffset(int offX, int offY, int offZ){
   List<BakedQuad> list = new ArrayList<BakedQuad>();
	BakedQuad quad;
   //North
   quad = new BakedQuad(applyOffset(getVertices(EnumFacing.NORTH),offX,offY,offZ), 0, EnumFacing.NORTH, null, true, new VertexFormat());
   list.add(quad);
}

private int[] getVertices(EnumFacing face) 
{
   switch(face)
   {
      case NORTH:
         return north();
   }
}

private int[] north() {
   int[] vertices = new int[28];
   //top left
   vertices[0] = 0; //x
   vertices[1] = 0; //y
   vertices[2] = 0; //z
   vertices[3] = asInt(luxin.GetColor()); // rrggbbaa
   vertices[4] = 0; //u 
   vertices[5] = 0; //v
   vertices[6] = 0; //unused
   return vertices
}

private int asInt(int[] color) 
{
   return (color[0]&0x0ff)<<24|(color[1]&0x0ff)<<16|(color[2]&0x0ff)<<8|(color[3]&0x0ff);//0 is r, 1 is g, 2 is b, 3 is a, &0x0ff limits each to 1 byte
}

This code is clipped because it is very repetitive but that should be enough to see what I am doing.

 

Each IPartType is supposed to be only a single color (rgba) which is specified by the luxin#GetColor.

 

Is there some way for me to specify the color per BakedQuad without the use of a texture file or a custom renderer?

does anyone know of any resources I could look at that might help me figure this out?
