Wire Frame Mat

[jaggos]

How do you do a fireframe material in 1.5?
wire frame option is been dissabled or moved somewhere else

I also tryed to wrap standart material still not working.

any help would be appreciated.

cheers

its done as a map. edgemap or something like that. you can use it in diffuse slot of in opacity slot with a mix map

thanks for the quick reply
I didn't thought about it, I just tryed it and it worked, I think it would be nicer if the option comes back.

cheers

there never was the option for wire frame other than edge texture

[Da_elf]

seems to work just fine for me. what other method did you used to use?

[jaggos]

some how i always thought there was an option for that like in max.

[jaggos]

No it did work now, i was just looking for the option
thanks mate

ah ok cool. well. glad you got it working no matter what the method was. i prefer this as the edge texture allows us to use it in any slot where as a wireframe toggle would only render wireframe

The wireframe tick box was only for standard 3dsmax mats. But that doesnt work with vray anyway

Quite interesting and a nice feature I need for project of a client. -- Is there any location where I can get that material or does it come along with 1.5? Maybe, I need to develop my own edge-map?

Its called VrayEdgesTex and has been around for quite awhile.

Just add it to the diffuse slot the same way you would add a bitmap and if you then copy it to the opacity slow it will only show the wires, then you just color them with the diffuse vrayedgestex.
