So I have an object inside another object that is transparent and when I render it with Cycles/Freestyle I only get strokes on the objects outside of the transparent object. Apparently, Freestyle doesn’t understand the object is transparent. Is there a setting someplace to get Freestyle to stroke everything in my scene?
I missed with Freestyle in 2.76, but not that much and with the UI changes, I’m a bit lost as to where the Freestyle settings are.
Not really - you’re not going to get IOR effects or anything like that…
Best you can do is play with the Occlusion settings to force outlines for the object being occluded
but, like I said - you’re not going to get refraction being taken into account (object inside IOR 1.45 transparent cube):
…which is a limitation.
You would need to apply the freestyle modifier and then convert the grease-pencil to a curve and give it some bevel with a black material to make it “physical” - then it will refract:
Where is the Freestyle modifier? I didn’t see it anywhere in my file.
Actually, Freestyle acted a bit strange, almost buggy. It quit working on parts of my file, I had to append everything into a new file to get it to working again. To get the project done, I added in the glass part in Inkscape.
The settings are in the Render Properties at the bottom…
to render edges inside a transparent object…change under Visibility > Type to Quantitative Visibility…
