Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Shadow contour

Hi everyone,

is it possible to use shadows as countour for an object and set all the other lighted area to invisible(alpha) - like this picture for example
https://www.inkspotstudio.com/images/...Face%20med.JPG ?

I've tried around with ramp shader on my object, including ramp material(black/white) as transparency - but those combination won't be affected by the light :/

Thanks in advance!

Try baking a shadow map, UV your head then set up your lighting then bake to texture......dave
