How to add Lines for Occluded Geometry (Freestyle or Otherwise)

[adamwparker]

The subject line is confusing but what I want is simple…

Say you model a hand. You want it shadeless but you want lines where the fingers overlap so you can see them. But you don’t want an outline around the whole mesh - ONLY where the fingers overlap. I imagine there’s a freestyle setting you can tweak somewhere but, after hours, I can’t seem to find it.

If anyone has a solution to this one THANKS. It’s pretty tough. (unless I missed some obvious solution)

Hi Adam,

I am not 100% certain of what you want, but I think you mean you only want edges to appear within the object as it is rendered to separate part of that object.
I came up with the following, maybe this is what you are looking for

Best of luck

Martin
