Hi everyone,
I’m making a script to create a mask that you can use to render wireframe with scanline, the problem is that I’m getting some imperfection and sometime the edge get blurry…
anyone know where this is coming from ?
/*
Title : Uv Normalizer v0.77
Author : Martin Dufour
Web : martroyx.890m.com
Email : martroyx@hotmail.com
Date : 15 February 2009
Note :
The purpose of this script is to create a mask for wireframe rendering with scanline.
The object need to be an editpoly with no modifer in the stack.
Non quad face will be moved out of the Uv space and contained within the mask offset.

seems okay here – what type of object causes the faulty result?
Edit: nevermind, I see what you mean
Feb 15, 2009 6:23 pm
Difficult to say :hmm:
Feb 15, 2009 6:23 pm
alright, second attempt at a reply, then…
The accuracy of the UVw coordinates is fine. However, the template that the Unwrap UVW modifier renders out is not-so-fine.
The basic problem is that pixels are discrete, integer coordinates and UV coordinates are float coordinates. So sometimes the lines the Unwrap modifier utility renders fall on the ‘outside’ end of the float and end up rendering thinner or even not at all (depending on how far the pixel coordinate is from the UV coordinate).
Rendering to a larger bitmap helps, but apparently it refuses to do an 8K square render here.
Alternative/fixes:
- blur the bitmap a little (in the bitmap texture)
- thicken the lines yourself a bit (using e.g. maxscript)
- render youw own map (again, using e.g. maxscript) to always render the lines on the ‘insides’ of the UV lines.
- use a wireframe map plugin

Humm , this may be the solution because when I manually move one of the faulty edge this seam to render better !
Feb 15, 2009 6:23 pm
Note that you will still get varying line thicknesses -and- you run the risk (in theory, at least, the more I think about it the less it seems likely to me) that an edge will actually have a thin sliver -not- wired, but at least they shouldn’t disappear anymore. Best bet, I think, would be to draw the pixels on both sides of the actual UV line’s float coordinates.
Feb 15, 2009 6:23 pm
I’m wondering if it may come from the fact that I set the position of the vertex with their .pos property and not the <uv>.setVertexPosition2() methods , maybe this lead to inaccuracy ?
edit:Oups , I’m actually using setVertexPosition2 , forget this :rolleyes:
Feb 15, 2009 6:23 pm
Ho!, another weird thing, when I move the uv around the position relative to the map change… but I guest it just some drawing bug :curious:
