How to create customisable rim erosion and offset outline for mesh

[xeryvelgarde (Xer)]

Update:

Can't figure out how to use Vertex Color instead of VertexNormalWS to create rim offset and offset outline based on Stylised paint shader breakdown

After thinking a bit. The effect you eant is easily achievable with 2 shells, IF, you set the normals for the outside shell to be inverted - inside only. Ill give you a quick blender made example if I can… PP does it’s thing. UVs are on the object. the 2 are unrealated. You can tell a mesh to belong to whatever stencil you want. Most common use for this - with completely separate meshes in this case - is to hide water from inside a boat. Anyway. let’s get to the example here the model’s …

Are we talking about the output as in what we plug in for the Base Color? Sorry that I’m not getting it right away. Or this, because I think the issue might have actually been that I didn’t flip the blacks and whites of my detail map and I think that was it. Also made it two sided to see what it would look like.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if it’s possible to do this using Substrate where you have 2 Substrate Slab BSDF, and then a Substrate Vertical Layer or a Substrate Horizontal Blend, slap the gradient into the Top Thickness or the Mix.

The problem would be how do we inflate the outer shell. There isn’t a WPO input but theoretically we should be able to do that.
