Hi everyone!

This image is not meant to look realistic. It portrays the underpinnings 
of the code which produced my last posted render, "Worn wood block."

In the image, notice how the edges of the (somewhat goofy) CSG object 
are highlighted: outside edges appear white and inside edges appear 
black. Topologically-challenged areas appear grey. Using this as a 
texture_map, one can make the outside edges have a dented appearance and 
the inside edges look pristine.

The code for this image has been dropped over at p.b.scene-files under 
the same title as this message.

Questions and comments are welcome as usual~

-Sam

It's the same technique as described here, isn't it? :)

Yes, but somebody wanted code, and I gave it. It's a basic technique, 
and I don't claim to have originated it. It's based on the faked 
subsurface scattering technique I was developing a while back, and I'm 
sure that was based on something else, too.

After looking at your Simple Patina Macro post, it looks like I even 
replied to it.... man my memory ain't so good. You can be sure, at 
least, that I built up my code from scratch :c)

What this kind of reminds me off is how those 'dirt/rust' plug ins for 
other 3D programs calculate where to place the texture map that will be 
the dirt/rust (as those things tend to collect in corners)...

With this technique you may be able to fake cheese that has been drying out 
because of improper sealing!

No accusations from me, I just find it curious that techniques sometimes get
reinvented... :) BTW, I think my simple patina macro was inspired by your
faked subsurface scattering technique in the first place.
