Hi,
Trying to achieve a canvas that looks like cartoon, 2D drawings, blue-prin, etc., good for presentarions including a 3D envioewnent it seems there’s no outline rendering in Verge.
I think it sol be a huge improvement
Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion! In fact some stuff like this should already be possible with Verge3D, considering that it is based on Three.js:

https://threejs.org/examples/webgl_postprocessing_sobel.html

However, Freestyle algorithms may differ from those used in the examples above. Will need to investigate further and see what we can do.

I’m also very interested in having this effect in Verge3D.

There’s a pretty good example shown here: https://discourse.threejs.org/t/wireframe-with-rectangle/2856
but at the moment I’m not up to the task, being more of an artist than a dev.

For that you can use Wireframe modifyer with a scecific shadeless material.

Thanks for the example Mikhail.

I can’t quite get the look I want by limiting the modifier effect using a vertex group as I don’t want to render all edges. I think what I would have to do is create an additional object, for each object, and alter those meshes for the modifier. More objects, more meshes — not really ideal…. At least not as attractive as a shader/Three.js function so I may have a learning curve ahead of me.

Okay, I think I can make this strategy work. Just need to remove a few vertices and define ngons. :)

Yes, n-gons can help in that way. In 2.8 they plan to make a specific shader to render such wareframes like it was in Blender Internal, may be it can be supported in the future.
