This tool measures the curvature of a model and outputs the curvature as point colors. Curvature is one of the fundamental mesh properties and is handy for all types of calculations, including scattering and poly reduction. By Default, green will represent convex colors and red will represent concave colors. Remapped monochrome colors are also available.

This video shows how curvature can be generated to create masks for texture blending in a shader.
This video shows the growth of moss in the concave areas of the geometry using the attributes generated by Labs Measure Curvature.
