The Wireframe node allows you to render a wireframe overlay on the surface of your geometry object.
Note: The Wireframe node only works if you are rendering your 3D scene using ScanlineRender.

Either: • The 2D image you’re using for the surface texture, or • Another shader node, such as Diffuse, Specular, or Emission. Adding several shader nodes one after the other allows you to produce more complex effects. |

opaque |
Sets how the wireframe overlay is applied to the geometry: • opaque - display the wireframe on fully opaque black input geometry. • see through - display the wireframe on fully transparent geometry. • over - display the wireframe on top of the input shader or texture. • multiply - multiply the wireframe by the input shader or texture and display it on fully transparent geometry. • modulate - apply standard diffuse shading to the wireframe and display it on top of the input shader or texture. This takes into account any lights in the scene. |
