Shadi Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 hi, is it possible to render an object with "final quality renderworks" and show at the same time the wireframe lines which are visible in this view? or should i render both (wireframe and renderworks) and overlay them with photoshop. like here: http://www.nemetschek.net/3Dpowerpack/gfx/bathtub.jpg thanks for help shadi Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Dave Donley Posted March 5, 2004 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 5, 2004 Hello Shadi: An easy way to get this would be to duplicate your layer and set the layer options to show others. The lower copy can be rendered and the upper layer in wireframe. With show others, the wireframe will draw after the rendered layer is drawn, overlaying the lines onto the model. You could use Dashed Hidden Line for the topmost layer as well, to get dashed lines and reduce the line clutter shown with a plain wireframe. You can create a Sheet with the Save Layer Visibility checkbox turned off, to easily set each layer to the view you want.

mentalenergy Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 ummm wouldnt it be alot simpler to just use the render bitmap tool and then send the bitmap to the back (ctrl+b in win)? [ 03-05-2004, 07:23 AM: Message edited by: mentalist ] Quote Link to comment

Bart Rammeloo Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Shadi, The image you refer to has been made in Photoshop. First export an OpenGL rendered image from VectorWorks, then export the Wireframe. Put both on top of each other in Photoshop, fiddle around with the layer transfer settings, add a gradient, an presto: your image. EDIT: oops, you knew that already. The other mentioned options are probably the best solutions to your problem. Good luck, BaRa [ 03-09-2004, 06:25 AM: Message edited by: BaRa ] Quote Link to comment
RubenH Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 You can make a convert copy to lines, with the render yo deserve, and then render with final quality renderworks, and that it is. Good Luck again. RHF Quote Link to comment
RubenH Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Then you can export and image file, and it works too. RHF Quote Link to comment
