Good evening Juan,
Do you think we have the possibility to have something like Vray distance with LW / Octane ?
Thanks !

Hi,

Are you talking about this feature? https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/VRA ... istanceTex

Probably these kinds of tools can be done using OSL ...

Thanks,
-Juanjo

But, is it not the same case of this? :roll:

(using the color node instead of the opacity)

Hi,

it is not the same, no. In the example above, it is using "object dissolve" which is not a shader controlled "effect". As Juanjo said, you could do that using OSL and there also might be a way using a LW procedural (using object distance and a gradiant ramp) backed/rasterized into a bitmap at rendertime.
