Hello! I didn't understand. Do you want to render the outlines? You can use the "wren" renderer or try using some frenel shader to mimic that.

Hi!

if you have the shape image already, you can use a Tracer SOP... and reduce the number of points it will create...

So you are trying to get two lines around each shape?  

It would help clarify what you're after if your images were shaded to identify what is solid geometry and what is a line
