Hi Everyone: Sorry for being off topic but I thought that someone might have an idea. I am putting together a catalogue of models for my vendors and in addition to my Maxwell renders I also want to be able to produce very simple clean line drawings with a hint of shading-

Photo is from Designzoo.com-- thanks!!!

The look that I want is less shaded than this example but I guess this is close to the effect that I want to get.

Do any of you know of any programs other than Penguin that I could use to get a similar effect?

Thanks
Cary

For line-art stuff, I've used the Technical Display plugin, which is available on Rhino Labs (here: http://en.wiki.mcneel.com/default.aspx/ ... hDraw.html).

Thanks JD: I will download that and see if I can figure it out. Penguin looks nice but at the moment I have too much stuff going on to shell out another $300-400.
Thanks

I have not tried the Technical Display plugin JD refers to-- looks very interesting. I typically use "Make2d" for line drawings although it at times
has issues creating some objects.
