something I whipped up today with vectorstyle; it gives you an alternative to straight wireframe rendering or toon shading (among other things)

Very nice. I use vectorstyle more and more for (parts of) commercial work. This helpings thinking out of the box. Well, 'through the box', actually. Sometimes it is very fast to produce usable stuff (especially when some kind of 3D model already exists).

In this case I used a hub model I got at turbosquid. It was only offered in lightwave .lwo model format so I had to use lightwave to convert it into a format Carrara could handle (I used .obj). I wonder if c3 will be able to import the .lwo format (can amapi 7 do it)?

I am interested in knowing how you accomplished this effect. It's very cool, and I can see dozens of uses for it, but I'm stuck as to HOW you did it. Please..?

It was done using the separate vectorstyle plug-in (http://www.eovia.com/vectorstyle/product_intro_vs.jsp).

You just load up a model and say "Save As/Flash(.swf)" from Carrara and fiddle with the vectorstyle settings a bit and voila.

To get to the still image above I played my .swf in the Flash player and then just did a screen capture.

Cool thanx! It was the 'hidden lines' option that I forgot about. And a nice highly contrasting color for the edge color. :>
