sometimes the simple ones get me…:
I have two objects. Both share the same mesh. The first object should be rendered as wire frame, the second should be rendered solid. As the “wire” setting is a material property, and the material is linked to the mesh, and the mesh is the same for both objects, the “wire” settings is also always the same. But I want it different.
I could make the mesh “single user”, but then the changes in geometry don’t affect the other object. Actually it’s the same mesh.
I’ve also been playing around with two material indexes, but to no avail. No matter what I do, both objects are wire frames or none.
What’s the right approach? That must be simple but I don’t see it.
Thx for the quick reply, but I can’t find it anywhere. According to your attached file, you’re using 2.50. I’m using 2.49b. Maybe that’s the difference?
As you see, Mat 2 is already “wire”, but it’s rendered solid. What I can do is assign the “wire material” to all faces of the mesh, but then also the other object is rendered wired. I don’t get it. I’ll play around for some more hours…
and no bother, I endeavored into the support forms. :D:D
