3D Grid in Rendering

[Anonymous]

HI.
Do you guys notice that in rendering with the 3D grid on only the number or letter of the grid will show up, no circle or grid lines?

Depends on the rendering engine. They show up with sketch render.

Does anyone know why not using lightworks or the internal engine?

Erika:

Taking a quick look at the 3D Script for the Standard Grid Marker library part, it look like the grid is made of lines using the lin_ statement, which has no actual 3D dimension. It should be possible to replace these with a 3D element, which would increase the polygon count.

From line 331 of the 3D Script:
if line_3d=1 then ! ONLY LINES IN 3D

if AC_Type = `Line` then

if AC_LineVisibility = `Full` then

lin_ p1x, p1y, 0, p2x, p2y, 0
lin_ p2x, p2y, 0, p3x, p3y, 0
lin_ p3x, p3y, 0, p6x, p6y, 0
lin_ p6x, p6y, 0, p7x, p7y, 0
lin_ p7x, p7y, 0, p8x, p8y, 0

endif
