Creating a rim light and saturation shader in Maya trouble

Heliocide

Hey,

I'm trying to tweak a style study I'm doing on Super Mario Galaxy


As you can see my Rim lighting shader is just tending to white and I have no idea what nodes to use to make it apply to the saturation as well.

In the image I'm using a SamplerInfo.facingRatio > Ramp.VCoord and the ramp into the lambert's incandencanse. Works fine but isn't quite right.

I'm playing with the remapHSV node but it's all experimentation.

Any advise would be appriciated. Thanks in advance.

Since it's an old system, and if you look closely, you will see that each piece is lighting it's own color. So keep it simple, just mutiply the diffuse by your fresnel term and add ontop of your final output.

You could also do this by putting in some rim/kicker lights.

Thanks Ace-Angel that's perfect
Think I was trying to over complicate things.

Thanks to you to Ark, I probably need to add some more lights.
