Applying gradient on both sides of every edge on low poly model

Can't convert bevel node output to black/white

Here is another solution, that does full convexity - both dark cavity and bright curvature. [image] It does not need a high poly subdivision, obviously. I have mapped the bevel radius and convexity contrast to a uv, and set the shader up to show both convexity and normals with a mix node, so I can quickly tweak both at the same time. Note that what I do is use the bevel nodes result inverse to sharpen the mesh normals beyond what they naturally are, that I then use to drive an ao and invers…

Works perfect for low poly meshes! Pointiness needs high poly to work well.
