Inker modifier properties
The inker modifier adds silhouette, crease, and boundary edges to an existing model. Silhouettes
are edges along the border of a model. Crease edges are created when the angle between two areas
of the mesh exceeds a given threshold.
Use these properties to work with the inker modifier:
Subdivision surfaces modifier properties
The subdivision surfaces (SDS) modifier causes the model to be rendered with additional
geometric detail in the area of the model that the camera is currently looking at. The additional
detail must be created in a third-party modeling application and imported into Director along
with the 3D cast member. The SDS modifier is available only for models created outside of
Director. The SDS modifier should not be combined with the level of detail or toon modifier on
the same model.
