This would be nice but isn't possible.

Ah 😕
thank you griggs, you are an alchemist!

would be possible to use a plane on front of the volume (like the refractive portraitst) as a "filter" and apply the contour to it? @

I don't believe it will work, but might be worth a try! If it works, please post the results!

you do almost the same effect in Houdini and generate a mesh with it for toonn rendering. way simple than baking a volume shader displacment.
