cdiete20 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Anyone know how to render out just a wireframe of my models? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! 27826[/snapback] Flipbook them, use an OpenGL ROP or Object Scene ROP, or use a Wren ROP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peliosis Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Thank you! 27831[/snapback] Or another yet...make a vop shader with "boxes" node driving the bias of the mix node (set to 3d colour) and put the output of the mix into color of the output node. This won't give you exact wireframe because edges will not have same width but it can produce nice effects and is flexible. Another would be to put carve sop onto all your geo, and add "width" attribute. I don't have an idea how to render hiddenline with it but you have total control over line width. And there are some hardcore ways like applying polywire or wireframe. By the way, is there a method for creating cop shader to render edges of constant width? I have some clues but nothing ready yet.

Check out the unroll edges option of the ends sop for opening polys up too. It's also handy when you want one object to display in the viewer as "wireframe" whilst the rest of the scene is shaded. By the way, is there a method for creating cop shader to render edges of constant width? I have some clues but nothing ready yet. 27832[/snapback] Have you read through the cartoon rendering thread there are some methods there that would work. Basically you'd be rendering every prim with a unique (id) colour and then using an edge detect cop or a convolution cop to outline them.

jjstanley Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I have found that I prefer adding a PolyWire SOP and rendering that way for most things. The flipbook works OK too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visual Cortex Lab Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 dunno if this is good or already being said.. but i found that divide SOP can also become usefull for such purpose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
