Quality wireframe??

olivierth

Hi,

I'm making a demo to show my characters inside of UDK and I want to show the wireframe. I found a way to have the wireframe on top of a simple grey shader but the wireframe is so small that it looks more like dotted lines rather than full thick lines. Needless to say that during a turntable it flickers way too much.

I have to fade from this wireframe to the full shaded version so it has to be done in UDK.

....Or, is it possible to export the UDK camera to 3ds max?

why don't you just render it to texture?

Hey Neox!

I was actually thinking about that. I think I'll wait to see if somebody else has an easier solution first. If there's no other better way I'll try that.

Thanks.

I've used this before, worked quite well - http://blog.environmentartist.com/?p=724

Hi Kbrom12,

That's the method I was already using and it does a lot of flickering.



Hey Neox,

I tried your idea and I think it's the best way. I get exactly the wireframe look I'm looking for.

Thanks

Only other command I know that would give wireframe is "show meshedges" console command in game. It would give you color wireframes though.

I ended up baking the wireframe into a texture. That way I get to have black wireframe on mid grey exactly like I wanted and keep the environment unchanged.

I"ll check your solution by curiosity.

Thanks!

Modes-->Show-->Advanced-->Mesh Edges

Select the Meshes and press F4, type Wireframe in the search line and change the color to FF000000
