VRayEdgesTex for bump and dark corners

[vlado]

Hello,

As some of you have noticed, using VRayEdgesTex for round corners on objects with glossy materials can lead to dark edges of the objects, like this:



You can reduce the effect a lot by using the Phong BRDF instead, like so:



The problem is a deficiency in the Blinn/Ward shading model for glossy reflections at grazing angles that I have discussed before. With that said, we are also working on a more accurate shading model that does not have such issues.

Hi Vlado
Are there any restrictions with this roundcorner effect??
i tried it with standard primitives and it worked well .. but with an imported mesh with "little" complexity it doesnt work...

Hi,

does the mesh have vertex normals?

I thought every Vertice have it own normal

I found the problem.. i had to weld all vertices on the edges the object was parted into elements.. so vray couldnt find a corner..

Nice effect by the way.. saves a lot of work..
