Title: edge trimmer & texture scattering
Post by: frv on 2022-10-11, 18:03:38

I tested the edge trimmer & texture scattering features in the daily build v9 rc2.
Really fantastic results. Tx Chaos. I now can hardly understand how I did without.
Can I also use vertex maps somehow or is it texture map based only ?

See attachment with both features set. Its actually rather easy to set the edge trimmer for all textures in one go by selecting them all and set the opacity map to edge trimmer. Super easy but a bit hard to find without a manual. Can this be just a checkbox in Chaos scatter ?

There are plans for the way this is activated/used to be reviewed after the release of Corona 9, so for the next Corona version.

Tx Tom, I am sure Chaos will get it perfect sooner than later.

And the vertex map for scattering ?

love the edge trimming too!

as it seems you have a way to detect the edges, could we also have an option to scale the scattered items down when coming close the edge(with falloff value) ?
