Rendering vertices

IronicallyMaiden

This may be a silly question but is there a way I can render a model in 3ds max that will show the little dots that represent vertices? I'm only doing this for a small simple model to demonstrate a work in progress image. Thanks

there is a modifier where you can create a network out of your wires with little bubbles where the vertex points are.. but thats maybe not the best solution..

Yeah the Lattice modifier, easiest way. Copy your mesh, add Lattice, set the Strut radius to zero, and adjust the Joints (vertices) to your liking.

Snader

Even easier way:
optional -make sure all your objects are an editable poly (via attach, and convert to editable poly)
-go into edit mode
-select vertice edit
optional -press F3
optional -press g
-print screen
paste in MSpaint and save
Endresult:

In the Maxscript User Reference there is a tutorial on how to create a Vertex renderer

Thanks, this is exactly what I needed.
