Labs Edge Damage
This tool is part of the FREE and open-source toolset in Houdini called SideFXLabs. About this tool: This tool will allow you to very easily add edge wear to your geometry. This is very useful to add some detail using Boolean, VDB or simply color to geometry to for example make it look old. This is not only useful to modify geo, but also to generate masks for shading purposes. For more information on SideFXLabs and how to get the tool visit: https://www.sidefx.com/products/sidefx-labs/.
