Curvature to opacity

[leo3d]

I can't get the curvature node to work as a black and white mask to drive the opacity, nothing is displayed
the wireframe node works but the problem is that there is no option to detriangulate

thanks for your feedback

Hi, can you share an example of your setup?

[leo3d]

it work with refraction but no opacity

[leo3d]

in fact I want to make a wireframe style rendering with the curvature knob
 

[Beanzvision]

it work with refraction but no opacity

Really? ;)

[leo3d]

could you show me your shader preset

thx

[leo3d]

with self illumination it work; strange

sample

Do you have more info on the look you are trying to go for?

Try with this model

I don't see triangulate edge ;)

Here's the model with wire and opacity:



Another option to render a wire frame is to select all the edges and use the ''edge to spline'' command in C4D, you can then use a Corona render spline tag and the result is as shown.

ok but I don't want to see the triangles.
what is your solution with shaders
I use RKT mesh to spline but the model is too big for an animation. I'm looking for a solution to make the shape wire appear without seeing the triangles. Because I can't detriangulate the model, too long

[Beanzvision]

Are you referring to these?

[leo3d]

yess
all geometry are triangulate and i wish don't see on wire ;)

[Beanzvision]

They are there, but then so is every other edge and it becomes crowded/messy. ;)
