LW2020 - Render To Greybox

[MartinSax]

Hi all,

I remember a setting on a older version of Lightwave to render to Wireframe or Shaded models, is there a way to do the same in LW2020, i cant seem to find any option on that or anything on the Manual/Wiki

Something like this:

That was just the mode of either realistic, wireframe, and quick shade.

Wireframe would just give you the wireframe without any shading.
quick shade would give you shade without wireframe, and you had to go to the objects edges tab and check sharp creases or other alternatives.
this would allow for both wire and shade..simplistic.

Now the render options are moved to surface for render model, and there you only have cel, sublime cel and realistic.
The edges settings are in the objects primitive tab and the geometry tab where you set to render wireframe on top of the surface shading, so just activate that there and turn of raytrace in the render panel, reflections etc for faster surface rendering.
Speed and result..almost the same, maybe a tad longer, and a bit more to adjust to get there.

so preferably go to each surface and multiselect and turn on cel shading, in reder tab turn on raytrace,reflection,refraction and for each object you would have to set edge rendering in the primitive/geometry tab, maybe creases only.

Oh..forgot, this could have changed in LW2020, but from 2015 to 2019, that was the case.

There may be plugins for global controls of this somewhere.
