Feature request-Negative displacement+Rounded edges

[Rafael-Vallaperde]

Thank you for the heads up Roaeland

The rounded edge feature works but it has a few limitations. It is very dependent on your scene if you'll run into these limitations or not. Generally speaking if a mesh has very narrow triangles near the edges then you'll get artefacts.

This is a common case if you are modelling 3D parts with holes and curved edges:

Note how the triangle marked in yellow skirts the edge of the hole. When using rounded edges on that mesh, you get an artefact on this triangle. Improving this is on our to-do list but it's not something we can easily fix.

I hope rounded edges gets fixed soon. That feature falls into the category of we promote it on our feature list but it doesn't work for 80% of the use cases. Instead of worrying about pumping new features out tidy up ones that aren't working..... Its already been quite sometime with no actual devotion to the problem... just a oh ya its a problem we will get to it "someday".

Kind of a critical feature for anyone working with any sort of CAD data that has hard edges. And its literally the only reason I don't use octane for professional work.
