Hi Keymaster, Forest packs *NEW edge function needs a custom shader.

Hi, Edge mode is a feature that works at render time, removing elements which are outside of the scatter area. Therefore, it requires to implement a custom shader with certain capabilities, but actually only V-Ray allows that.

For other renderers, we are working in an interface which can be used by the developers of these engines, to write its own shader. But since each render engine and company is different, that such feature is finally implemented will depend of them.
