Hi!

I have a box with a green wireframe material - that i'm filming inside it [i'm using it as a room for a matrix-like scene],
the problem is that it has 80 segments...
for 1 frame it's ok, but for an animation - not!
so i tried to fake the wire frame - & to tile a texture of a green frame on the box-room [& of-course to change the box to 1 segment...] the problem is that i can see the box with the new fake-wire texture in the viewport - but can't see nothing after render... what is the problem?

btw, maybe do you have other ideas?
thx

did you remember to uncheck wireframe from the top level
material? BTW, what sort of system are you running that can't handle an 80 seg box?

uncheck?
the wireframe material & the fake wire material are 2 different materials...

i have max4.2 on a p450Mhz 256MbRAM...
but i have particles+raytrace... so 80 segs are too much here...

please! any help/other ideas???

Material: 2-sided
or
Render dialog: Force 2-sided
