Hi community,
I’m going to try some work where it’s needed to achieve a canvas that looks like cartoon, 2D drawings, blue-print. Has someone tried it. Is it possible to make some kind of freestyle view in Verge?

Thanks.
Kind regards.

You can achieve different cartoon-like effects on materials, like sharp shading, solid colors and etc, but there’s no outline rendering in Verge. You can post the request of such feature in the Bugs and Requests forum.

Hi Mikhail,
Thanks for your answer. I’ll post it in other forum.

Hi,

I’m still working to achieve some “drawing” designs but It doesn’t work what I’ve done. It looks good in Blender Internal but it doesn’t in Verge.
I did some primitive demo I’ll send you.
I’ve found the following example in three.js but I don’t know where exactly put it in my App http://stemkoski.github.io/Three.js/Outline.html
It seems to be this:
`var outlineMaterial1 = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial( { color: 0xff0000, side: THREE.BackSide } );
var outlineMesh1 = new THREE.Mesh( sphereGeometry, outlineMaterial1 );
outlineMesh1.position = sphere.position;
outlineMesh1.scale.multiplyScalar(1.05);
scene.add( outlineMesh1 );
Where sphere and sphereGeometry are close to one of the objects in the scene.
It’s written inside the .html file but in Verge we have a different file for it, where it’s referenced the entire scene, not the object aside, isn’t it?

Thanks.

Hi,

You can put this code inside the runCode function of your app js file. Then use
var object = app.scene.getObjectByName("objectName");
to find an original object.

Yes, Ramps are not supported on simple material, instead of that try to use Color Ramp in node material. Here’s an example for you.

Hi Mikhail, I managed a good material with your indications, it looks quite good.
But Yuri I was trying to change and copy some code to the runCode but nothing seems to happen.
But at least as I said, I work with a good material and adding a new one in some edges I could achive an acceptable effect.
It will be nice to add the outline in an easy way or I should put the right code for it.

Thanks

Hi,

Just in case, couldn’t the post-process outline effect which is currently available in Verge3D work for you? https://www.soft8soft.com/docs/#manual/introduction/Puzzles.outline

It can be seen in action in our teapot heater demo.

Hi Yuri,
I’ve tested it but it’s not the outline effect I’m trying out and black or darker colors don’t work.
This is the reason why I’m asking about freestyle.
I’ve managed it painting some edges I show you some demo with a simple cube.

Thanks for your help.

Hi! Would you mind sharing the way you found the solution? I am very interested too! Thanks!
