#1

is it possible to render wireframe movi in z brush. pls tell me how. i want to composite my wire frame wid my original one wid same camera angle. :slight_smile:

Well, you can simply have PolyFrame on.

But if you want to only see the wires and not the mesh, you have to get a little trickier. See here: http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=65068

thanx aurick its working. but is it possible to set any camera angle to render the turntable for wireframe(transparent) n mesh. actually i wana composite both. waiting for ur reply. :slight_smile:

You can change the camera angle for the turntable by simply positioning the model before you start, with perspective on or off.

For a single subtool mesh, you can render a transparent wireframe like this:

  1. Switch on Polyframe. You may want to change the polyframe color to white (Preferences>Draw>Pf Color).
  2. Switch on Render>Flat Render (otherwise your model will disappear).
  3. If your model doesn’t have UVs press Tool>Texture>EnableUV.
  4. Change the color to absolute Black and create a new Texture (the size doesn’t matter).
  5. Press Texture>Transparent.

actually i want to fix camera angle so that if i load my file every time i can get dat angle to render turntable movi wid same camera angle.

I know Zapplink can save camera shots. But I don’t know if it saves that into the actual file. I don’t think it does, but it’s worth a shot.

Z_Hunter,

Download this handy little plugin that lets you preserve 4 different model views or poses to disk… with this, re-registering and rendering movies for compositing should be no problem…
