Hi,

I'm not getting the expected result with Wireframe procedural. Is this what it is supposed to do? Is it a bug?

This is quite a big object for a big scene, around 400m, so wireframe width is also big. These are procedural settings:



It might be a bit confusing. I'll explain it further: I'm using the wireframe texture as layer mask for a black layer over a white plastic, so what's white in procedural should display as black lines. What is really bothering me is that bunch of spikes and bevels.





Edit for moderators: Sorry, I should have posted this into the bugs forum. For some reason I didn't see it when I created the thread. Please move it if you want.

I see it has something to do with the wireframe arrangement but it's quite awful.

Even with coplanar edges with the same color and width the result is... questionable:



I think it's odd how it doubles the width of some edges but not all (I've checked if there are any double vertex there, but there are not)

I don't think it works very well if you want the lines to be so thick, but could you send me that scene/object for testing?

[Fernando Tella]

Sure, where should I send it? It's just a simple shape extruded. Have you noticed some edges don't show at all? That's odd.

I uploaded the scene here:

Hi Mihai,

Maybe you overlooked this thread, as it is placed in the wrong section. Sorry about that.

Did you find the time to take a look at this problem?

[Mihai]

Yes, I haven't found a reason why in this case the edges are "hidden" by the inner edges at the junctions.... I tried with a cube and that looks fine, the inner edges don't take away anything from the outer edges. I will pass this on to Juan but they are at Siggraph at the moment and he probably won't have time to look at this for a while.

Thanks Mihai.
