urgent: vray edgetex material

[smr_VIZ]

HI, all:

 

I have some q regarding this Vray edge material. Do I apply it to my diffuse map slot? In the mean time, can I assign an map to the opacity map slot? I am doing some simple tests to check all this issues but so far didn't get what I need.

 

Should you have suggestions, please share with me. Thanks

no, you use it generally in your bump to get fake bevelled edges on hard geometry.

 

you can use it in other slots though, depends what you want to get

Are u sure? I tried your methods,it works. But I can use it in Diffuse map too.

 

What is the differnce?

It looks mapping in diffuse map slot is what I want. I can see the edge. But not if I do it in bump slot.

its magic, what effect are you after? looks like you worked it out anyways.

There are many different uses for it. I will use it in the diffuse slot sometimes to create a toon like effect. Also it can work great for windows mullions if you have to model the glass panels for a building (doing this annoys me but sometimes my bosses require this method)
