Halftone shader in Octane

[haze]

Hi all,

Attached is Zap Andersson's halftone shader running in Octane.

This is from here:
https://github.com/ADN-DevTech/3dsMax-OSL-Shaders

Update: I have made some tweaks and added another way to use the shader.


Ideally you would do some post to apply this effect, which you can do currently using render jobs:

halftone-post.orbx

Otherwise an alternative is to tweak the imager so that it looks correct from a particular angle:

halftone-imager.orbx

Nice...but it acts more of like a dot overlay rather then a halftone. it doesnt react to shadows in regard to the point size etc :/

Yes, I was hoping this OSL shader had a good way of driving a parameter based on surface illumination. That's one of the many shader nodes I miss in Octane - just a basic, "get illumination value of the surface and pass it on". I've got a pretty good etching shader I made in Maya that I'd love to port over, but so far I haven't been able to do much with it.

I've updated my post and added an alternative way

Are you having any issues using the ORBX, or do you mean how to use it in your particular scene?
