  • In the realm of image based edge detection, aesthetically pleasing edges are hard to come by. But, what if we could get stylized edge lines by just blurring our image twice?

    i think it'd be super cool to use the vector flow field to drive the rotation for the crosshatching texture, with the first and darkest layers being parallel to the VFF and the additional layers being varied parpendicular angles rather than random rotation. This would give you a more accurate crosshatching pattern that takes form into account rather than just using raw values.

    I could totally see stuff like this being used for in-game cinematics! Like cutscenes, quick scripted action events, or just stylised screenshots. Could even go as far as a stylistic theme / visual concept for the entire game. In a game, you'd also have things like depth buffers and surface normal differences available to provide a guide for the "true edges", and I wonder if the algorithm could be adapted to use that as a form of guidance/correction.
