Just having some fun, my wireframe fits the render perfectly





Nico.

Nico,

It is possible to avoid the pixelation.

You can use the "viewcaptureToFile" command and save the wireframe view at a very high resolution 1600x1100 or more. Then during composition you can shrink the wirefrmae image to match the size of the rendered image. The wireframe will no longer look jagged.

Hi Thomas,

That is a great tip, Thanks I will try that later on.

Nico.

it works thanks! But how do I set the resolution with this command?

:: check either settings or preferences... can't remember.::

Hmmmm, I still can't figure it out how to set Width and Height using the viewcaptureToFile command.

Anyone?

Found it:

Use the "-dash" version of the command:

-ViewCaptureToFile

Thomas,

looks very clean, i like this one

Very nice.

Another way you can try is use the Make2d command and then export the result as DXF or AI and then make your composite within Illustrator. This would help you avoid seeing the wireframe of the back and hidden surfaces.

Indeed, I will try this next.

Thanks for that.

Very nice, I would shift the opacity of the wireframe down much more as the wireframe should only hint at the underlying mesh form- excellent render and modeling!

Thanks Funky and Tyrone

Tyrone, like this:

... I would set all lines black, disable the transparency and elimanate all grey shadows (contrast in PS), so that you get clear black lines on a white ground. Now, you can multiply the line layer to the Maxwell layer and you get a clean rendering with black lines. Black lines could be nice with the white model.

Also, aside from the make2d, you can also try to superimpose a hiden line view.
