Planar objects showing in RW modes


Recommended Posts

The planar objects always disappearing in renders was indeed a bug. If your workflow had included this as a part of it, your easiest option is to render in a viewport so that you can control it's visibility. Rendering in a viewport is better for a number of reasons, this included.

Yep, it was a limitation of the CineRender engine. Sorry to hear that it was part of your workflow.

I don't need (or want) that either.

And now I know I have to better care about it.

Should work as I have my few 2D Elements on separate Classes.

 

But I am very happy for all the Students on the german VW Forum,

as they always tried to render their 2D PDFs under their 3D geometry.

 

I see 2D is not effected by Shadows and GI (?)

rendering in a viewport might be better, but it doesn't contribute to efficiency.  On the design layer, I can continue to make changes as Renderworks plugs away and it will restart the render when a resource is changed.  It is just quicker on DLs.

 

However, I've found a workaround, thanks to Selin's first comment:  I set up a RW Style that this time includes edges, just set to 0 pixels.  Voila.

Hahah I like this workaround 😄 much quicker than setting classes.
