hidden line for watercolor

markf · September 29th, 2006

Does anyone have any experience or suggestions on how one might go about getting a hidden line, wire frame view out of Max. I'd like to try and render something and then try printing it on watercolor paper for painting over.

Perhaps another software that I could export a Max model to?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I did use a long time ago a RENDERER for 3dsmax called ILLUSTRATE

Works Great to render 2D stylished picture, Hidden line toons render.

No evolution sine Max 5 but, it still works great.

You can also simply use the "mental.ray.hidden.line.contours" render preset.

You could also clone all of your geometry then do a lattice modifier with struts only.

you could probably get some decent results with the built in ink and paint tools

I use an Ink and Paint material and a modified version of this technique:

Pete Draper wrote the tutorial, there are others and they are all great and useful. You could also import into SketchUp as well and use the standard white with edges display.
