Is there a way to export vues wireframe? That is as a line drawing rather than rendered surfaces. Thanks

I am afraid, i think it is not possible. Most software packages can't do that these days. As a fan of wireframes - when i started 3D only wireframes existed - i always miss that too. Maybe a workaround if you do have Vue Pro. Export the scene and import it into Poser. Poser can...

yeah thats to bad, i miss that feature aswell, always makes for interesting renders if u can mix wireframes into it. so i hope u are wrong :) however i havent found a way to do it in vue4.

I suspect the best you might be able to do (if your on a PC don't know if you can do this on a Mac) in Vue4 is: * Make the 3d window be the only view. * Then hit print screen * Go into an art package such as Paint Shop Pro of Photoshop and hit Paste * Crop the resulting image to get rid of the interface Not an ideal solution but it might give you what you want In Vue4Pro it might be possible to write a python script to do this but, despite earning my living as a coder, I've yet to really dig into scripting in Vue4Pro.

Can you explain the concept of screen grabbing?

its just a matter of hitting the key "print screen" and paste that wireframe image into your 2d editing app, and blending it with your vue render. which works, but i still think it would be nice with a real wireframe render option in vue, especially for the object/segment of choice. of course u can also use materials to make it look like a wireframe, but still not the same thing, anyway i guess its not a big thing since u can get the effect u are looking for.
