Render Wireframe on Shaded

[alx]

i don't know if there is an actual way to do it.. but what i do is


render the scene

then

on the hardware render buffer render the scene on wireframe...
( smooth shaded or not smoothed)
( depends on what looks best for your scene)

and then put them togueder on after FX or any compositing program


hope that helps

sincrely

Thanks for the help Alx. :)

I had a feeling that is proberly the only way to do it. That or work in another 3D package.

Thanks again.

Theres a wireframe shader on highend 3d I believe.
But the playblast is probably easier than reapplying a shader to large scenes.

so problem mike...
let me know how it looks.
ill like to see a render... and one last thing ( just in case) you can allways change the colors of the lines in the Display/preferences/color menu
and change the color of the unused objets..( i think that might help to make it look more pleasant..

sincerely

It's been a LONG time since this thread was started, but I got this link from a student with the same question, the answer however is very simple in case anyone seeks for the answer:

- Combine the entire object or split it up in a few objects.
- Apply Automatic Mapping on the objects, this way, every face has a proportional amount of pixels.
- Edit the UVMap that Maya generates in Photoshop and use this as the texture, now the edges will all be colored, such as this:
