Shadow & Hidden Line offset

[George K]

Hello, 

Following some advice on another topic a while back for creating drawings that have hidden line but also show shadows i'm coming up with an issue i wonder if others have come across

 

To create the views/style i've set the Foreground render as Hidden and the BG render as artistic render (shadows & Line)

 

the results look great when zoomed out but as you look closer you notice an offset from the hidden line to the render in the bacjkground 

 

is this a graphic card by any chance or some hidden setting i'm missing 

 

See files for better explanation

Hello @George K Instead of using lines and shadow where the lines from that style will interfere with the lines from hidden line, you could get quick shadows from Shaded render mode.  Set ambient high like around 80%, this will give you gray shadows.  Turn off Colors and Textures in the Shaded options.  Turn off draw edges so it doesn't interfere with hidden line edges.  I think that will do the same as the Artistic mode but will be faster and might not have the offset problem you see.

As said above ....

 

But as the screenshot looks a bit unexpected .... is your geometry far away from internal origin ?
