Hi guys,

I have seen some amazing shots recently of - for example - a building in wireframe which slowly morphs into the textured version over the course of the shot (the texturing starts on one side and gradually covers the model entirely).

Could someone please start me off on how to achieve this effect? Is it necessary to render all the elements separately in both wireframe and shaded and then do it in post?

Thanks,

Martin

yep...post is the way you go.
Unless of course your software supports blend materials and you can do such an effect by using some animated mask or whatever.
But i would do it in post...you can adjust your timing easier and the result would look more uniform
