Rob, I'm trying to avoid geometry.
The offset sounds like a good idea, but not yet sure how that would be done. I think it would have to always be offset in the direction of the camera correct? I'm seeing consistent artifacts at this point which looks to be spatial disagreement along the camera Z axis. An offset of some sort would probably be required. -- Joey Ponthieux LaRC Information Technology Enhanced Services (LITES) Mymic Technical Services NASA Langley Research Center __________________________________________________ Opinions stated here-in are strictly those of the author and do not represent the opinions of NASA or any other party. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rob Chapman Sent: Monday, August 05, 2013 4:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Stranded.... well Joey, if you are going to get funky you may as well use custom geometry instances. this way the geometry lofted along the strand (a separate grid positioned in space is exactly the shape / position / offset from each curve you want it to be. for efficiency though Strands would be preferred and 2 strands on top of each other *could* be ok if it is just *Strand Width* you want to offset them by and then if artifacts could be offset by a tiny offset increment surly which would help the overlap?
