TrueWire

XXV in Rendering


Why does it cost a $1?
Unfortunately due to how superhive works, I'm unable to post free products without a subscription. A free, up-to-date version of the Add-on lives on my discord server. If you're interested in supporting further development and feature additions, these $1 donations are good way to help.
Where are my saved presets stored?
In Blender’s per-user config folder, so they appear in every file. Blender keeps this folder separate for each version, so a preset saved in one version won’t automatically appear in another.
How are n-gons handled?
They’re approximated, and excluded from edge type colouring. Converting them to quads gives the most reliable result.
Why do lines look thicker on surfaces at a steep angle?
In Quad / Mixed mode the line is measured on the surface, so it looks wider where the surface turns away from the camera. Fully Triangulated mode with Pixel-Perfect Line avoids this.
Why do very tight edge loops look like one thick line?
When two edges sit closer together than the line width, the lines merge. This happens with any fixed-width wireframe. A thinner line, or fewer holding loops, helps.
Why won’t the Enable button work?
Objects can’t be in Edit Mode. Exit Edit Mode first. The button also needs a valid target, such as a selected mesh or a collection containing meshes.
Which Topology Mode should I use?
Use Quad / Mixed when your mesh has real quads you want shown as quads. Use Fully Triangulated when every face is already a triangle.
Will Overlay mode affect other objects that share the same material?
No. Overlay mode works on a per-object copy of the material, so other objects keep the original.
Does TrueWire change my mesh or materials?
Your original materials are stored and restored when you disable it. TrueWire also adds a few colour attributes (named TrueWire…) to the mesh data to store the wireframe information.
When do I need to re-bake?
After any topology edit, and after moving or scaling an object. The wireframe data is a snapshot taken when you enable or re-bake.
Why did Blender freeze when I first enabled TrueWire?

The first calculation on a large or high-density mesh can take a moment, and Blender may appear frozen until it finishes. Once it’s done, the wireframe appears and toggling is quick.
