Description

Wireframe Render Version 3.0

This script simple takes the max scene and renders wireframe, in either black or white. It does not alter your scene in anyway. Your scene will remain untouched with all of its settings and materials.
Enjoy!

This script is a small part of a larger script I'm working on for 3ds Max.

John

Additional Info

I have uploaded both the Macroscript as well as the MaxScript file to my website. Installation It's a macroscript, so just run the script and then you will see the available script in the Customize Toolbar section up JokerMartini.

I have him die in 3ds max.. :(
under wire size 1.0 = max dead (big scene,max9)

It's a macro script not a maxscript.

So in the customize user settings panel it's under JokerMartini.

I'll upload the maxscript tomorrow as well.

I need help with Rendering

Once I download it, I read the directions but it still doesn't pop up. It says to put it into the scripts folder under 3dsmax. How do I get it to show up in max so I can render?

Animation and Alpha Suport

Nice script :)

Is there any chance that you will support animation range and wire with alpha in the future?

Hey

JokerMartini · 2011-10-03

New website.
Version 3.0 of wireframe renderer is now available as well.
You have the option of choosing the type of renderer.

Check it out. Updated the links.

When I go to download this script it says that it can't be found. Is there anywhere I can go to download this?

I tried turning up the samples in the Render Setup dialogue but it still defaults to Min 1 & Max 16 when pressing the Render button in the Wireframe dialogue box?

JokerMartini · 2011-05-17

I'll have to add the sampling to the script because it adjusts it at render time overwriting what you changed. You can go into the script if you want and just make it higher before running the script.

Sampling

JokerMartini · 2011-05-16

You can bring in some of those fine wires by turning up your smaples. I could add those to the settings possibly.
It will help to eliminate gaps in your wireframes when rendering.
I'm glad you like the script!

This is so COOL. No scanline to get a wireframe render. Again the joker delivers!

what card dose he have up his sleeve next? Hope it's an ambient occlusion option?

Missing Lines

shopkeeper · 2011-05-15

Very nice scripts. Great for dim-witted clients who can't understand whats going on in the viewports :) How do I prevent missing lines in the wire frame render without increasing Wire Size parameter? I tried switching to scanline and increasing AA in MR but this only renders the viewport. Thanks.

Wire frame size

othoap · 2011-05-15

Seams that 0.7 is the lower limit on wire frame size. Rendering in MR @ 800x600 that is

Extras

JokerMartini · 2011-05-12

Are there any extras or things anyone would like me to add to this script?

Below someone mentioned hidden edges. What exactly do you mean by that?

I'm on the "edge" of my seat, waiting in anticipation ;)

thanks for your work, much appreciated.

asymptote · 2010-07-22

This is great for previews, setting up finaltoon for wireframe can be a pain, this is a one click fix.
Is it possible to render hidden edges ??

ps...I too can't find it in "customize" (Max 2010)

JokerMartini · 2010-07-22

It's no longer a Macro, is just a straight up script. You just run the script and the dialog will pop up. I'll work on getting it to render hidden edges. Update will come soon.
Thanks!

JokerMartini · 2010-06-09

I've removed the macro part of the script so it runs just as a stand alone script. No more installation issues!
Enjoy

wannabeartist · 2010-06-09

Thanks!

Very nice! Installation is may be a bit tricky, but it works.

JokerMartini · 2010-05-06

You will run the script and find it under Customize>Toolbar>JokerMartini>Wireframe
Let me know if you have any problems.

lawchin · 2010-05-05

I run the script as told, I check my customize... nothing. I guess it's not for max 2010

pifitas · 2010-05-04

Hi
thanks works fine on max 2008x64

Just one question: can black / white colors treated as transparency in WHOLE IMAGE? not only background, in order to have only lines for PHOTOSHOP/COREL,also adding color palette for color lines could be nice.

thanks!
