This came up this morning... wondering if possible:
A render element that would do a material override on all (or chosen via a list) objects in the scene and apply a simple grid over them, tron style, with a customisable scale (such as 1m, 0.5m, 10m etc.). Just a simple b/w mat.
This would be a cool little tool to help with perspective alignments in post, such as placing people over a large surface area etc.

do you need the grid to be shaded? Or can you post example what the output should be? I feel like this can already be achieved with texmap render element

Hey Ondra. Actually.. it sounds like texmap would already do the job then, I guess. Maybe what would be good, then, would be to have a special mode within that element that takes into account scene shading, as you say. So you have both options.

You could use material override with a material using CoronaWire texmap. The only drawback is that it is not a render element.

Thanks chaps. Couple of good options there.

Actualy a material override render element will be great, i do a lot of material variations, and to be able to render them in one or a few renders will be nice.

Hmm, but that would require shading, reflections, GI calculations for the completely different material too, right? So I guess it would be like rendering a 2nd image at the same time.
-
I was wanting the same thing so I could render a Chalk image as well as one with textures however I came to the same conclusion,
This would be like rendering a second image at the same time... but if these materials had no reflection ect they shouldn't cause that much of a slow down in render speed?

the original request is solved, closing this down
