More options in VRayEdgesTex

[Laserschwert]

I'm still hoping that we'll eventually see an update to the VRayEdgesTex (both in color and bump mode), including stuff like:

- mappable edge width
- a map slot in addition to the color picker
- an output curve to define the edge shape a bit better
- an "only selected edges" option
- a "don't chamfer between different MatIDs" option

Any chance some of these might happen?

[vlado]

Yes, will make a note about it.

I wonder actually if it would be possible to implement some sort of angle threshold, as is for example possible with the chamfer modifier, but then with the VrayEdgesTex map instead.

[vlado]

Maybe... I'm not sure.

Wouldn't that just be a curvature map then? Or Maybe an inversed VRay Dirt?


I really like those suggestions above! ++1

Those don't work as edge chamfer bump maps though.

By now I can't imagine working without VRayEdgesTex chamfers anymore... they easily add so much more detail and realism to my renderings. With a few more controls, it would be perfect.

Really good ideas ! VrayEdgesTex would be so much more efficient in that way

+1 to all this!

This might be a bit crazy but would be so awesome (think i saw this in one of tor frick's modo streams). Is it possible to have an option where it chamfers the "virtual" edge of where 2 objects intersect?

this is apparently coming soon. its an old Mental ray feature that is being licensed for use in vray.

Like this? If yes, then it is coming in the new service pack.

Hell yeah! Vlado you're so awesome

[viscorbel]

That intersection chamfer looks great! Really looking forward to it.

[Laserschwert]

That looks indeed quite great!

[Vizioen]

That's amazing!
