Edge Sketch

Edge Sketch

Using this post effect, outlines can be drawn on the edges of geometries within a DriveWorks 3D Document.

This gives a more CAD like appearance to the model.

Without Edge Sketch	With Edge Sketch

• Edge Sketch Enabled

  Toggle to enable / disable the effect.

  Note

  For edge sketch to appear, any appearance applied to the geometry is required to be fully opaque.

  The alpha channel (applied to Diffuse Color or Albedo) needs to be exactly 255. Anything less than this value is considered not fully opaque.

• Line Thickness

  Controls the thickness of the edges drawn.

  Increasing this value too high can cause artifacts such as lines being offset from their actual surface and appearing split in two.

• Normal Threshold

  How aggressive edge detection will be when searching for differences between face normals.

  A value of zero essentially disables this effect.

• Depth Exponent

  How aggressive edge detection will be when searching for differences by comparing the distances of objects from the camera.

  Lower values can be used to detect edges between objects which are closer together, but values which are too low can sometimes cause artifacts.

• Edge Color

  The color to draw detected edges.

  Enter Red, Green, Blue and Alpha values to define the Edge color and transparency.
