Convex Edge Addition to Occlusion Shader?

Hi Andy,

Could we have a convex (and concave) edge option on the occlusion shader?

I need a method of producing consistent occlusion around all sharp or filleted edges (although this may negate the true definition of occlusion?...).

I use this style of occlusion all the time with Modo, but would love to see this option added in Brazil.

I can get some nice occlusion shading with the refraction option, but (obviously) just not with the edge consistency I need.

Thank you!

Nathan

I'm feeling shimmery already :)

Thanks, Andy: the new occlusion option rocks!!!

(The door panel and the grid still render darker, but I can probably just change their occlusion parameters in a separate material.)

Now how quickly, can the porcelain material with the occlusion option in the color slot and a jpeg in the occlusion background be hooked up in Neon? PLEASE???!!!????

THANKS AGAIN!!!

Nathan

Actually - this is almost impossible to do in Neon right now - but we're working on it.
