Method
Adjusts the shading of an object based on the shape a procedural. The procedural shape is effectively raytraced, with the ray starting at the object’s surface. This can be used to create an effect similar to a boolean operation on a surface, but without the need to add that surface as a procedural node.

Attributes
| Name |
Description |
| Colour |
The inner colour of the shading |
| Inner Fade Distance |
A distance limit for parts of the procedural which are inside of the object surface. |
| Outer Fade Distance |
A distance limit for parts of the procedural which are outside of the object surface. |
| Colour Affect Amount |
A blending amount for the inner colour. |
| Normal Affect Amount |
A blending amount for the surface normal. |
| Apply To Colour |
When enabled the colour of the affected object will be affected. The colour is taken from the generated procedural. |
| Apply To Normal |
When enabled the normal of the affected object will be affected. The normal is derived from the shape of the generated procedural. |
