Description
Messed around with Raycast some more. Getting really impressed with it. You can do pretty neat stuff with it. Figured out what it works with and what it doesn't.

Autoluminous is not compatible but Raycast has it's own emissive materials to compensate for this - some of them are really nice too! So for example I used these on Miku's head bands/head set and to bring some sparkle to her eyes.

DirectX format models don't fare too well with the effect unless they have been texture mapped and even then, you get better results just converting them to PMX format; which I did with the old dance studio model I used here.

Has some nice deep blacks. Plus one shouldn't just use the default base shader. You get better results with some materials when you use one of the variants. Like I said before, it is very fiddly, but no pain no gain.

Light control can be a real pain. This set up used a default light plus an added directional light; then tied everything together with an overlay shader.

Going to have to try this with Alice next. Wondering how well it will work on her?
