Shading edge of domain

thoromyr

Is there a way to shade the edge of a shading domain (that is, pixels near a seam) differently than the interior? For example, an input to a mixer to select one group for the edge and the other for the rest.

This is an option in the toon shader, but there you are restricted to the toon shader and to using strokes rather than arbitrary shading.

I've been digging through the shader room and numerous extensions, but haven't gotten anything to work yet so I'm looking for ideas.

thoromyr,

Anything Goos will find edges along a shading domain.

There is a demo mode so you can see if it meets your needs. It will time out after a bit, but just save your file and restart Carrara to reset the timer.

thanks! I didn't think of that one (I actually already have the plugin). Much appreciated!
