I want to render a scene with the final render looking like it does when I switch my scene in DS3 to wire shaded. Is that possible?

That wouldn’t work because I need it at 300 ppi for print. Thanks, though.

Right.

? maybe putting the screen print on a plane and rendering it that way ?

My D/S is on another computer so can’t check this atm.

What about upping screen resolution to max, and changing DPI in an image editor?

If I understand correctly, DPI is an arbitrary number, when the resolution is high enough.

And if rez is already max’ed, then never mind.

It’s actually quite easy!

Just use a UV Map for texture and Alpha channels in the shader.

If you have a “template” or the UV Map, that’s a great start…

another use for UV Maps as Wireframe Render Assistants.

I just plugged the UV Map into the Bump channel and cranked up the value of the Bump Amplitude in the top bit of the shader tree… and Vie-Ole!

A Texture Shaded figure with the wireframe sort-of imposed on top of it.

That’s what I want! So uhhh, how do I do this? lol Where do I find the UV Map for v4? And what’s an Alpha channel?

Sorry, Carrara terminology ...

Alpha is transparency.

The uv maps are the templates.  V4’s should be on her product page, but I’m getting errors trying to confirm.  Look under the “additional info” tab if the page loads for you

Hope it helps…

EDIT - It’s in the resources tab now.  Dang new store…

So you’re telling me I have to fight Daz for the old product links to be fixed ... lol. I don’t see THAT happening with any kind of speed ... lol.

Not at all.

I just downloaded them!  Works fine.

Here’s a direct link:  http://www.daz3d.com/shop/downloadable/download/sample/sample_id/306978/

It may be edited by a mod for some dumb policy reason, but it definitely works.

Real quick test results :

Thanks!:cheese:

Glad it helped!

The nice thing about this trick is that it works on just bits of a model if desired:

Well that’s certainly interesting, kinda scary too lol ...

I know with my image editor I have it set to save at 300 whatever, but the images always seem to be 96 so I haven’t a clue what’s going on with it or why but that could be one of the reasons why it didn’t last as long as some other programs.

Anyhow, nabbed Chimp, wire box view, added blue light, screengrab ... opened image in old image editor to save it. Brought to 2nd computer, put in new image editor; added a background layer ...

Happy to find that a better answer was found to be useful ...

But as this was also some work, enjoy

3d modeling has sure come a long way ... from Chimp to Genesis!

I’m a v4/m4 fan ... but I’m sure I will have to use genesis some day. Or just go back to traditional work. That chimp does look odd ... lol.
