over deleting lines

Post by Arneh » Mon Oct 03, 2016 9:40 am

Hello everyone,


I recently started using twilight render and when rendering my project the lines from the bricks dissapear. Is there an option with which the lines remain visible?

Thanks, Arne

Twilight Render does not automatically render edge lines. You can enable edgelines by selecting the material in the Twilight Render editor and, under the Advanced drop down, checking 'Edge Lines'.

If you carefully read the information I mentioned above (should take only a few minutes!) I think it will become clear.
See intermediate-materials-1
and intermediate-materials-2

Here's an example of edge lines settings - the weld angle is important!
In the "Advanced" pulldown panel, check "Enable Edge Lines" then set edge line thickness, then set weld angle to the angle where you want to start seeing the edge lines.

There is no auto-magic way to add wireframe to all materials, and I wouldn't recommend it in most cases, however, I would just use wifeframe edge lines with the material used for the cabinets.
Your textures look good, I think the problem is one or all of the following:
1 the lighting is too flat,
2 nothing for it to reflect from this camera angle, or
3 the wood texture is not glossy/shiny enough. Try something like this:

Here is an example of wood, but with a bevel modifier (v2 Pro only) but it's still a good example of wood shininess.
