Blender3d Ae Plexus Fashion Wireframe Render.

I was trying to gain a wireframe homecoming trend similar amongst AfterEffect plugin, Plexus using Blender3D. The final result I got hence far is keen but even hence can't compare to the existent thing. In brief, this is done past times using DupliVerts, in addition to wireframe material. Freestyle tin hold upward role too, but it volition convey longer homecoming time.

Blender3D Plexus Wireframe Effect

Below is a compilation of examination shot I did using Blender3D internal render. Scroll downward for tutorial!

First Step

I can't discovery a agency to homecoming the primary network when using DupliVerts, hence I am using ii network objects amongst link network data. One network using DupliVerts for the circle outcome to look nigh vertex, about other network using wireframe shader.

1. Add / model your primary object (cube inward this case)
2. Select the cube in addition to ALT-D to duplicate it. ALT-D is role instead of SHIFT-D because nosotros desire both cube to part the same network information for displacement animation later.

For now, nosotros volition refer them every bit First Cube in addition to Second Cube.

Adding circle/sphere at vertex for First Cube

There are ii methods nosotros tin add together circle nigh vertex.

• DupliVerts - Can hold upward whatsoever shape every bit it is base of operations on mesh. This is the prefer method.
• Halo Shader - Only Halo / Circle Shape.

Using DupliVerts
To add together circle nigh vertex of mesh, nosotros tin role DupliVerts nether object settings.

1. Add a sphere (or whatsoever shape to look nigh vertex) to the scene (SHIFT-A)
2. Select the cube. Go to object settings > Duplication > Enable Verts (Refer to icon above)
3. Select the sphere (RIGHT CLICK), hence shift select (SHIFT RIGHT CLICK) the cube. Apply raise (CTRL-P)
4. Sphere should hold upward house automatically nigh all the vertex of the cube. Resizing the sphere volition resize all the duplicates that are house nigh vertex.

More information tin hold upward read inward this Blender3D wiki virtually DupliVerts.

Using Halo Shader
Not recommend this method every bit nosotros desire the network to role wireframe shader later, instead of halo shader. But using Halo Shader to house circle at vertex is past times only setting the cloth to halo shader. Then adapt the Alpha, Hardness in addition to Size settings.

• Size self explanatory, command the size
• Alpha 1 is opaque, 0 is transparent
• Hardness Value bigger than 0 volition convey soft edge, 0 homecoming difficult border halo

Wireframe Render For Second Cube

There are ii methods nosotros tin homecoming the wireframes line.

• Wireframe Shader - Fast render, express describe of piece of occupation style. This is the prefer method, due to speed inward rendering.
• Freestyle describe of piece of occupation homecoming - More flexible on describe of piece of occupation style, but volition hold upward slower inward rendering if role inward high poly scene.

Using Wireframe Shader
Using wireframe shader is prefer since it homecoming fast. Enable them inward cloth tab. Some value y'all mightiness desire to modify is diffuse colour, transparency in addition to emit shading.




Using Freestyle Line Render
Freestyle offering to a greater extent than describe of piece of occupation settings to play amongst at the terms of slower homecoming speed.

1. Enable Freestyle homecoming settings inward Render Tab
2. Select the cube. Press TAB to movement into EDIT MODE
3. Select everything (A). Then CTRL-E > Mark Freestyle Edge
4. Under Render Layer Tab, Enable Edge Mark for Freestyle settings. You tin plow off Selection By Visiblity if y'all desire to homecoming the lines at the back.

Compositing

If nosotros homecoming both cubes now, nosotros volition larn this wireframe outcome similar amongst Plexus plugin.


But this even hence await sort of plain. So enable compositing nodes, in addition to add together inward Tilt Shift in addition to Glow Effect for it. Below is the homecoming node tree I use.


Glow Effect
Glow outcome tin hold upward achive easily amongst Glare node amongst Fog Glow option.

Tilt Shift Effect
Tilt Shift outcome tin hold upward gain using Bokeh Blur node in addition to input a color ramp into it blur size. The color ramp tin hold upward done within Blender using procedural blend texture.

Vertex Animation

For wiggly vertex animation, nosotros volition role the Displace modifier

1. Go to Modifier Tab, Add Modifier, Select Displace
2. Under Texture. Add a novel texture, become to texture tab in addition to direct Clouds.
3. Under Texture Coordinates. Choose Object from the dropdown list.
4. Add an Empty Object into the scene (SHIFT-A > Empty)
5. Under Object. Choose the Empty nosotros only add together to the scene.
6. The vertex volition similar a shot mail away differently every bit y'all deed the Empty into dissimilar location.

Since nosotros are using ii Objects, First Cube in addition to Second Cube. So retrieve to add together the same Displace modifier for both cube.

I convey uploaded a sample blend file to blendswap but even hence inward modertation queue. You tin download the blend inward this link, Fake Plexus Wireframe
