Re: silly shader question : curvature convex and concave.

Hi Sam, what does your shader source code look like and the resulting renders? That URL doesn't seem to work for me.

I've done one that can be seen here with source code and renders, not sure how it works with sub-d surfaces: www.christoso.com/demoreel/edge-detection.png
