Edge Select
In: Mesh Based Generators > Mask Generators
Description
Generates a black and white mask based on baked maps and user settings. Similar to Smart Masks in Painter.
This mask is the best way to select any kind of edge based on the curvature. Convex, Concave at any level or contrast can be isolated, providing an excellent shortcut to avoid manually doing this through a Levels node.
Inputs
Curvature Grayscale Input
Baked map used for highlighting edges. Required!
Mask (optional) Grayscale Input
Mask slot used for masking the node’s effects.
Parameters
Level 0.0 - 1.0
Sets the total amount of edge highlighting for both Convex and Concave.
Contrast 0.0 - 1.0
Adjusts the contrast of the highlighting for both Convex and Concave.
Convex
Convex Edges Width 0.0 - 1.0
Sets width of the highlighting for Convex edges. Keep in mind that increasing Softness slightly can lead to thinner edges.
Convex Softness 0.0 - 1.0
Set softness of the transition for Convex edges.
Convex Intensity 0.0 - 1.0
Sets the maximum intensity of the Edge highlighting for Convex edges. Set to 0 for no highlighting.
Concave
Concave Edges Width 0.0 - 1.0
Set width of the highlighting for Concave edges. Keep in mind that increasing Softness slightly can lead to thinner edges.
Concave Softness 0.0 - 1.0
Set softness of the transition for Concave edges.
