Vra toon line thickness and opacity

[CHRISTOPHE.DESSE]

HI ,
could anyone point me in the right direction ,
i am trying to use maps , to control the thickness ad opacity of my line ..
and whatever i plug in those slot .. nothing change ..
kind of going crazy , as i am pretty sure that i am doing something wrong ....

found only info about max.. , nothing about maya

this is what i got so far .. vray + some post
but i would love to be able to take it to the next step


thank you

It Maya it would be something similar; you could map the thickness with a Noise texture with a VRay environment placement set to "Screen" mode attached to the UV coordinates of the texture.

you mean in the camera option ?

[CHRISTOPHE.DESSE]

ok.. sorry for that stupid question about the camera ..
i got it to work somehow ,, but i am hitting the next wall ..

when i assign the vrayplaceenv node i loose the preview of my noise texture ,
playing with the value only give me a very very minimal amount of variation on my line
and that only for width and opacity ,...
no chance at all with displacement ,,
i cannot put anything in the affected object set area , and the map button is greyed out


any chance to get an example file ?
could i send you what i currently have ?

thanks
