Title: Edge outlines with Keyshot 10 ??
Post by: megadok6 on November 27, 2020, 02:19:10 AM
Hi every one, and before all, sorry for my English, I'm French ^^

I used to use this technic on KS6 to make my edge outlines white or black on my renders: https://www.keyshot.com/forum/index.php?topic=11737.0 (https://www.keyshot.com/forum/index.php?topic=11737.0)

But it's not working anymore since KS7... Do you have any solution to do the same thing?

Thank you.

Hi,

Yes, that technique (cleverly) exploited a bug of the Toon material in KeyShot 6. "Unfortunately", that bug has since been squashed. :)
Luckily, since KeyShot 9 there is a new and better technique to achieve contour overlays on other materials.

The current technique involves using a Contour texture as opacity for a Label.
I attached a simple examle.

I hope this helps.
