hello,
can I render a mesh-object(maybe 3ds)with V-Ray that it looks like a wireframe ?

Max: Yes Rhino: No

In Max there is a texture called V-RayEdgesTex which will do that for you. We don’t have that in Rhino yet. I’ll ask Joe if its in the SDK though.

Heres a link to Spot3d for more info

Thank you for the fast answer. It would be very helpful for me to have it in Rhino. Can I import this material to Rhino VRay? Can I use Depth of Field with this material?

So it doesn’t look as though there is an explicit EdgeTex shader, however it may be an implementation of the V-ray toon Shader only on a face by face basis as opposed to the whole mesh. Either way we’ll look into it.

Who says we’re on top of the heap? Some days if feels as though were buried underneath it ;D … And I haven’t even begun explicitly stating my own wishes…that will be an even scarier day :wink:

lol I know what you mean. Well you guys have made great progress over the last year so it’ll come together sooner than you think I would bet. Get Joe more coffee!
