Re: Bake only hard edges in a UV texture.
I looked today into this and I might be able to script something in maxscript that would render selected edges with aliasing, so the lines would not be smooth just like a regular UV screen grab in max.

That method seemed like more trouble than it was worth though, maybe it could be scripted to save time. If all you want are the…
