Hi everyone! A new set of plugin shaders are available for Carrara 5 called FXShaders. These shaders include: Center Depth Fake X-Ray Punchline Point At Track Shader Plus a menu command plugin called Update Shaders which allows you to update an object's shader when in the interactive renderer's Textured mode in the Assembly room, useful for this set of shaders. TrackBBox and TrackAmplifier plugins for C5 have also been updated. These plugins can be downloaded from the following links: http://www.associatedfx.com or without Viewpoint http://www.associatedfx.com/plugins.html A description of these shaders follows. Look at the Readme files for more info. Cheers, Mike -------------------------------------------- FXShaders -------------------------------------------- Center Depth: Returns a grayscale value of the relative distance from the point shaded to the object's actual center. Fake X-Ray: Returns a grayscale value of the "thickness of an object" from the point being shaded to the opposite point of the object relative to the rendering camera. Punchline: Same as C4 version. Creates an outline or gradient around the silhouette of an object relative to the rendering camera. Point At: This will take a sub-shader and apply it to "point" towards another object. Track Shader: This will take a sub-shader and apply an object's Transform to the shader itself.
