setup a wire render

[liero]

A script to setup and apply materials for a wire render...
it will replace your own with a clay and a wire materials, as seen here and here.

You can apply settings to all visible or just selected MESHES.
Anyway, it's very easy to use.

- works in BI on meshes only
- by default it will run over all visible objects, but you can restrict to a selection
- script looks for materials by name: rename or make single user to get different wire colors
- 'mat_wire' has a z-offset option than can be used to fine tune wires display
- enable ambient occlusion or 'shadeless' option to do a fast render without setting up lights
- if it fails in default mode try selecting objects and enabling 'selected meshes'

See original blenderheads thread.

Works good..
only it would be cool if would be could apply different colors to different objects..

when i try to apply a different color to a select object it changes the color for ALL the objects in the scene..

it is cool, though..

works on the multires modifier without needing to apply it it.. as well..

[liero]

Just rename the applied materials, select another group of objects and run again on that selection...
or make them single user and edit colors as usual

This is very nice effect thanks for making it easy with your Addon

Thanks for the share . It's a good script, but why in Tool Shelf ? I think it would be better in the render pannel.

(My test ^^)

LIero could this work also with cycles?

[negativa]

Liero, thank you very much!

[HiRes]

yeah! thank you very much!

[DavideDozza]

Great addon, very useful, thanks you!!

[liero]

Thanks, you are welcome! See that this way of doing wires has been around long before I began playing with Blender. All the script does is take care of the tricks needed to make it work, even on many meshes at a time.

edit: moved / added some info to the first post

cheers

Error here. I tried the script, but when I hit the apply materials it tells me it has an unknown location for the script file. I installed it as normally one would. Any ideas?

NOTE: I was using blender 2.59

UPDATE: I tried using it in 2.61 and it worked.
