Edge Softening - Rhino Labs


Edge softening allows you to fake filleted edges on meshes for rendering. Use the Object Properties "Edge Softening" option once the plug-in is installed to change the radius. The plug-in requires an RDK compliant renderer to work (for example, Brazil).

Hi!

I was waiting for this tool long time (Edge softening). I have to ask you if it`s working with V-ray (because I don`t have Brazil.

Thanks!

Sorry - it doesn't work with Vray because VRay doesn't implement the parts of the RDK that would be necessary. However, there is a command - "ExtractSoftenedEdgeMesh" that allows you to get the mesh for other renderers - but it's not quite so slick!
