Thank yuuuuu!!!

Also don't forget to do your Glue Weight. You dont want the glue to pull on the front mesh at all. For me that was Glue A.

Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted-Talk or whatever you call these things! :>

A thread?... What's that?

I put the Inner Vertices really close here to minimize the gap as much as possible.
Then you just glue that inner edge up and when you move the back piece, it will stay attached no matter the angle. And same thing for the linefill.

Also you want to make absolutely sure the AA edge is not getting stretched. The stretch should be a solid chunk of color. Otherwise you'd stretch out that blurry piece which does not look pleasant.

Mesh-wise, the outer edge is contained between 2 rows of vertices. This is so theres an anti-aliased edge on the outside.
But yea, this does produce a little gap on the stretch.

Minus any effect masks, this whole thing's essentially just 4 layers. a front piece, and a back piece and 2 identical linefill layers.

The back piece works best as a solid color. But masks can be applied afterward no problem.

I do still wanna show off the old version. Even though we scraped it, it was still a very interesting experiment for a potential future style evolution
