Shaded Hidden View Render like AutoCAD

[tarakhaan]

hi buddies

 

I use AutoCAD & 3d studio max to create architectural visualization..somebody told me that it is possible that we can also generate shadded hidden line images like which we can create in autoCAD by issueing Hide command aur by getting a print! I tried a lot but couldn't find any method...Anybody help please................

hi There Tarakhaan

 

for max or viz select "mental ray" for your render engine

There is an "outline" shader option in mental ray To create

 

outlined renders, like The hide view in autocad

 

**

 

i hope This helps

i am still learning mental ray

 

Thanks

Thanks boss ..I have also tried ink n paint and metal ray's outline shadders but they create so thick lines...but I have seen one image of somebody as like shadded view of the viewport..but really it was a rendered image..so ..let's tell

Here’s a tutorial I wrote awhile back on how to do this with Ink 'n Paint...

Mental Ray will actually render Ink'nPaint faster and better than the scan line render. For thinner/better quality line adjust the ink quality setting and the min setting for Ink Width.

finalToon can also do some pretty cool NPR effects. check out the teapot images on this page...

Lots of Thanks buddies..but I had already tried all this stuff like mental ray and Ink n paint actually I was searching for another effect. you can view this effect also in the Max help file where some images are displayed in shadded wireframe mode for e.g. there is an image exists in Max version 7 's help under glossary section's Perspective View TOPIC. still waiting ....

The ice-cream shope image? You consider that to be a "shaded" wireframe? To me that's 100% unshaded wireframe. For that, any of the ideas mentioned above will work fine...or simply check "wire" on your material.

 

To me a shaded wireframe is something like this:

Unshaded wireframe is this:

That image was made using the MR contour shader with this tutorial:

Now maybe I've completely misunderstood what effect it is exactly that you're trying to acheive?
