Click Contour button.
Choose Width from Color (contour).
The Width from Color shader bases the thickness of contours on the brightness of the color of your materials. The brighter
the color, the thinner the contour.
ImportantThe color used by the shader is not the diffuse color of the material, but instead the rendered color, so lighting has an influence here.
Although the name of the shader uses the word "Color," it would be probably more appropriate to call this shader "Width from
Brightness," because only the brightness of a color is taken in consideration.
