Rendering the whole scene as wireframe

Hi,

is there a way of rendering the whole scene as wireframe?

If I have two cameras which render in split screen mode and I want one of them to render in wireframe mode, how do I do that?

Setting the material of every object wireframe before the second cameras rendering process and back to normal after that is kind of annoying. Also, setting a global material to the driver would override all the other material attributes of all the objects as well...

is there a solution to this problem?
Thanks,
D.

You'd have to use the override material. You can enable and disable the material settings which are to be overridden.

How can I enable specific settings? I can only find IVideoDriver::setMaterial(const SMaterial& material), and that function takes only the material as parameter...

The anaglyph rendering snippet shows how to use the override material.

I found this thread by searching for 'override AND material'. The search function is pretty useful.

Hmm, it is indeed the case that I only show the 3d override in the tutorials. I'll add the other one as well in the next version.
