Thanks for the report. For now the project only supports 4-component, "RGBA" color components. You can see in the changes from #257. The "simple" solution here is to probably process any geometry with an RGB color attribute into RGBA before rendering it. This could be done automatically in the "StaticGeometryGenerator" as well, though, if you'd like to look into a PR.
