Hello,

I would like to render 2 different pictures.
1. A white textured rendering with shadows.
2. Only the outlines of my objects.
I want to put them together in Photoshop and work on the lines rendering with textures. The shadow rendering is to multiply.
Is there a way to render only lines in Corona?
I tried it in Cinema with Sketch and Toon, but it didn't work in Corona and the Cinema 4D lines rendering was useless, since only a couple of lines were shown.

Something like this.
I found out how to use Object ID Multi Pass for Corona, but Material ID does not work. I want to be able to activate all concrete parts in Photoshop at once via color range selection. Problem with Objekt ID is that often different objects have similar object ID color. So if I want to select the concrete floor there are also chairs, ect. selected.
The linedrawing is mostly to overlay after post production.

You just want the white outlines so you can make selections? You'd be better off using adding a Mask from multipass for those objects. Or am I misunderstanding?

If you want the white outlines for artistic reasons, you can just use Cinema's Standard renderer with a Cel Render pass

The outlines are both, for overlyaing for artistic purposes and to select objects for post production. But I'd prefer having the multi pass coloured picture for selecting objects...I tried multi pass mask for Corona already, but somehow it didn't work...2 objects with the same material had different colours when i tried it. Also I had way too many colours, thats why I couldn't really use the mask thing. For my post production I need only a few colours, so I can select all wooden objects fast for example.
I will try the cel rendering! Thanks for advice.
