Please help cleanup some lines in Artistic Renderworks

Hello

Re:

Background render : Artistic Renderworks with line and shadow setting.

Foreground render: Hidden line

I am getting these lines at top and bottom of some windows and at attic slab level .

And one know what might be causing them and how to get rid of them? Please see screenshot below

Thanks in advance.

Any guidance to troubleshoot the issue is much appreciated.

No idea why these lines shown in Artistic Renderworks with lines and shadow setting.

Tried with VW 2023. same result

 

In Hidden line render below , the lines disappear!!

I think Artistic Render mode is not going to be able to do what you want.  It's a very old render mode.

 

You can use Shaded mode with the color turned off.  Either enable Draw Edges or disable Draw Edges and add a hidden line Foreground rendering.  This will get you the shadows you are looking for. (With MUCH faster render times)

 

It also lets you use Ambient Occlusion, which combines with Indirect Lighting settings to give you nice depth.

Thanks but I am not getting anywhere near Artistic Renderworks  with those settings. see below.

Kind of like the Artistic Render and would really really love to find out what am I doing wrong that makes those lines show.

The objects are simple walls and windows on same layer/storey

thx

Well , looks like it is not me 🙂

Opened one of VW University files and the lines are showing !! 

All this doesn't make sense to me . if Artistic render has a flaw , what is the point of having it.

A bit close to Artistic Render.

What I am not getting is the shadow from Heliodon ( eg roof overhang shadow show perfectly in Artistic render above)

Any setting in Shaded mode to adjust to get the shadows? (I had it checked in Shaded options)

Thanks

I just tried this in Vw2024 on a SLVP and it looked fine to me, I didn't get the diagonal lines like you're seeing.

 

The difference probably is that I have the Edge Thickness in Lines and Shadows set as low as I could go.

 

Hidden line foreground:

 

Background: Artistic Lines and Shadows

Super. you are a champ!

I applied your settings and it worked

Th edge thickness set at 0.001 , we loose the line weight for the edges. I guess with this mode you win some an loose some!!

The look in white is much better than in shaded mode.

 

I am still curious if there is away to get the shadows in shaded render to look same as in  Artistic render?

Cheers

You’re welcome - glad it worked.
 

One other thing is that in the SLVP annotations I always manually outline elements with 2D polylines in different thicknesses. That way I can get proper Graphic Density of certain elements, to make the elevation ‘read’ more clearly.
