gui Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Santos Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hi! if you have the shape image already, you can use a Tracer SOP... and reduce the number of points it will create... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryew Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) 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 Edited August 23, 2012 by ryew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
