silhouettes

Syntax

    member(whichCastmember).model(whichModel).inker.silhouettes
    member(whichCastmember).model(whichModel).toon.silhouettes

Description

3D `toon` and `inker` modifier property; indicates the presence `(TRUE)` or absence `(FALSE)` of lines drawn by the modifier at the visible edges of the model.

Silhouette lines are drawn around the model's 2D image on the camera's projection plane. Their relationship to the model's mesh is not fixed, unlike crease or boundary lines, which are drawn on features of the mesh.

Silhouette lines are similar to the lines that outline images in a child's coloring book.

The default value for this property is `TRUE`.

Example

This statement sets the `silhouettes` property of the `inker` modifier for the model named Sphere to `FALSE`. Lines will not be drawn around the profile of the model.

    member("Shapes").model("Sphere").inker.silhouettes = FALSE
