Hi Michael,
With your latest release, Busy is a good thing!

When you find a bit of time, Can you give some detail on the new Crosshatching Happy Accident!

Some explanation of the Dialogue and choices (And expected result from those) would help me out.

I really like the output, and would love to be able to get results like those posted! (Danperk!)

Thanks. If you had plans to produce something along these lines later, am willing to wait for that too...

Hi Burr, I'll collect up some info for it tomorrow.

Do you have a particular model that you're trying to use it with?

Hi Michael,
No particular model. Just looking at all the parameters and understanding their affect.

Some more info coming, here are a couple of things though:


Shading break = "Full illumination" this will trim out lines in areas that have full illumination from light sources, like this:



Shading break = "Specular highlights" is supposed to tighten up the trimmed out areas to only the bright shiny spots for specular highlights but it seems to be not working properly, I'll need to check it.


Scale with shading option - when enabled areas that are darker from light source shading will have a reduced spacing. The reduced spacing means more lines in the dark areas, more lines means more ink making a darker appearance in those areas.

So for example with shading like this:



It will generate output like this:



That has lines like this, note increased density in darker areas:
