This page contains information about the V-Ray Edges Texture. Overview The V-Ray Edges texture achieves an effect similar to wireframes. Since it is a texture, it allows for interesting effects that are not possible with the standard materials. The texture can also be used as a bump map to produce a "round corners" effect for mesh objects. Parameters Edges Color  – Specifies the color of the edges. Background Color  – Specifies the color of the faces. Width Type  – Specifies the unit of measurement for the thickness of the edges. World  – Thickness of the edges is measured in world (scene) units. Pixels  – Thickness of the edges is measured in pixels. Width  – Specifies the thickness of the edges in pixels. Show Hidden Edges  – When enabled, renders all edges of the object. When disabled, only edges marked as "visible" are rendered.  For more information, please see the  Show Hidden Edges Parameter example  below . Show Sub-triangles  – When enabled, edges generated by displacement mapping or render time subdivision are visible. Raytraced  – When enabled, uses raytracing to compute the rounded corners. When disabled, uses static mesh analysis. Consider Same Object Only  – When enabled, the rounded corners are produced only along edges that belong to the same object which has the map applied. When disabled, rounded corners are produced along edges formed when the object with the edges map intersects other objects in the scene.  For more information, please see the  Consider Same Object Only Parameter example  below. Mode  – Specifies which corners should have rounded edges applied to them.  For more information, please see the  Mode Parameter example  below . Convex and Concave  – The effect is applied to both convex and concave edges. Convex Only  – The effect is applied only to convex edges. Concave Only  – The effect is applied only to concave edges. Example: Show Hidden Edges parameter disabled enabled Example: Consider Same Object Only parameter   In this example, the cube and the cylinders are separate objects in the scene. V-Ray Edges is used as a bump map on all objects. When the  Consider same object only  is enabled the rounded corners effect is applied to each object individually. When the  Consider same object only  option is disabled the rounded corners effect is applied between the different objects. disabled enabled Example: Mode parameter Convex and Concave corners Convex corners only Concave corners only
