William Alexander Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 Fellow Viz Users, Just upgraded to Viz 4, 3days and counting. I'm missing one cool tool. The hidden line renderer. I've use it quite frequently. For quick perspective drawings, and a basis for overlay & NPR. I use ADT but the viz hidden line woks much better for me, more flexible. Is there a plugin available or other options? rgrds WDA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgarcia Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Here are some. Some are plugins for MAX whereas some are stand-alone programs. Piranesi Sketchup 3ds Max built-in ink-n-paint toon shader. Brazil R|S has toon shading built-in as well. Cebas Final Toon (here is a review) Cartoon Reyes for MAX And is one technique from our own EB3: NPR techiques And another cgarchitect forum's NPR topic enjoy.

abicalho Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 VIZ 4 comes with Vecta3D. If yours does not have it in the box, please follow these instructions: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/item?siteID=123112&id=2893182&linkID=982821 If the link doesn't work, go to http://Support.Autodesk.com, choose Autodesk VIZ and type Vecta. You'll see the Knowledgebase Article about it. Alexander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard McCarthy Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 I am not sure which one are you talking about, I never use VIZ before version 4, so I don't know if there is a feature that let you "render out" a file of hidden-line render. I havn't seen a hidden line rendering option in VIZ4 yet .. But I think this is what you are looking for : http://www.davidgould.com/Illustrate/index.html -RM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard McCarthy Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Talk about hidden line render made me think about the NPR plugins.. are there any other NPR plugin avaliable beside the above mention? What are they like? -RM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Alexander Posted July 19, 2003 Author Share Posted July 19, 2003 Alexander, I have vectra set up it works. But I liked the hidden line renderer and the using the dwg file in ADT. Now I have to upgrade other software to work with it. Well life goes on.... Question for you; Mental Ray, is this a seperate purchase item with a native function in viz4? Or how would one get this functionality working. The links and documentation led me in a circle. Since VizOnline moved to piont A I have no idea where to find documentation ect. Thanks rgrds WDA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
