When rendering wires for various purposes I don’t want to take the fully tesselated mesh edges but rather the original, unsmoothed edges but with the smoothed geometry so I turn on “isoline display” in the TS modifier but vray acts strange and produces jaggy/splotchy edges…can we have a fix please? …
