Hello. Thanks! But in the latest build I don’t see version for Windows only for Mac Chaos

This is because you are not looking at the correct page. Please, download the latest Nightly build that is from 20.06.2023: https://nightlies.chaos.com/main#/vr…ghtly/20230620

Please, let me know what you see in that page. If it is empty, please, log out and log in again, then re-open the link. If it’s still empty you might not have the rights to view the Nightlies. Let me know and we will fix that.

We are using standard triangulation methods from the USD library; if you render with Storm you’ll probably see the same issue. The only workaround for now is to add additional triangulation manually.

Hello @Mikhalenko

Please, note that the V-Ray Toon is only supported on CPU. You can find what is supported on GPU here: V-Ray for Houdini

Regarding the geometry issues you are facing, please, refer to Andrei’s (Bdancer) comment.

Hi, thank you for implementing this feature into Solaris, I do have one question, how do you get the edges to work? as I was reading the documentation I saw you need to add the toon effect to the Vray Enviroment Node, how do you do this in Solaris?

We are currently implementing the Toon effect support in Solaris; should be in the nightlies in a week or so.
