Use cases for depth cue?

Just curious, does anyone use Depth Cue (edge style) in their workflow?

Some of the sketchy styles I used have Depth Cue enabled. I don’t use it with the standard non-sketchy edge styles though.

Occasionally would use it when I was layering multiple SU images in post pro for NPR presentations. Haven’t had a need to use it in a good while.

I have a presentation style for one of my clients setup with depth cue and ambient occlusion with a limited pallet of textures. I also run a ‘grey scale’ plugin before sending to LayOut. I render in hybrid for these concept models.

I used to like seeing 45° shadows on all the elevations but something changed and it doesn’t work on a scene by scene basis anymore, so I only show shadows on 1-2 overall perspective views.
