Ray tracing with edges

Hello,

I try to superimpose edges to rendering in raytracing display mode but I dont’ find .
When i tick surface edge in raytracing mode i see all the edge behind the solids like transparent mode.

When I use render display mode its works but i don’t see glass reflexion and shadow quality is better in ray tracing display mode.

Also i don’t no if its possible to modify textures saturation for one detailed view with raytracing or render mode.

Please run the Rhino command _SystemInfo and post the result in a reply.

I try with simple volume, and a visual arq wall, its work for volume (just note for sphere). But don’t work for visual arq wall

Ah, this is an issue with Visual Arq. I don’t know how they are setting up the materials and geometry exactly, but to me it looks like it isn’t done entirely correctly. I’m changing category to VisualARQ

Hi @Henry_Boutet_de_Monv,

I see the problem. I’ll report it to find a solution; we’ll keep you posted.

Ok thanks

Hello Alfonso,

Have you find a solution ?

Thanks,

Hi @Henry_Boutet_de_Monv I think this works fine in Rhino 8. Have you tried it?

Hello Francesc,

Thanks, It works fine

@Henry_Boutet_de_Monv which display mode are you using in these screenshots? have you changed anything from the default settings?
This is how your model looks like in default’s Rendered display:

No also with default settings

Hi @Henry_Boutet_de_Monv I understand it now. This option to show the edges after a render seems to fail with VisualARQ objects. I’ll get back to you when we can fix it.

Hi @fsalla , ok thanks

I don’t see a failing render here from Rhino Render perspective. What am I missing?

@nathanletwory it’s the “Surface edges and isocurves” setting in the Post effects in Rhino render dialog. It seems to do not work properly with VisualARQ objects:
