visible edges

illyrianeye · June 27th, 2007

How do I turn on the edges of the geometry in Viz? I want to be able to print out a progress model, but able to see the edges with a standard material.

anybody have any idea

thanks,

Yes, that works on the viewport, but how do you get that to render?

For the scanline renderer you will need a wire material. You can set it up in the material editor (shader basic parameters).

The wire material will give you just the edges, I was hoping there was a way to have a standard material visible, but have good defined edges.

use a toon shader
or:
use a CAD program like autocad to collapse all faces to splines.
import splines and make them renderable.
mix it with the original mesh.
