Tutorial: Pretty Lines With Blender

Tags: posts, tutorial, blender, 3d rendering,

The settings I use to render lines in Blender using Freestyle.

I'm using 1280x720, different proportions may look different.

Select the camera object in the Outliner. In "Render":

• Freestyle on, line thickness 0.4
• Film: Transparent on

In "Render Layers":

• Make a second layer called "lines" with the freestyle line set. Turn on Sillhouette, Crease, and Border. Turn on "Edge Mark" but click the cross next to it: now any edges marked Freestyle Edge will be invisible.
• Name the Freestyle Line Style.
• Under "Layer" turn off environment, hair, and surfaces.
• Click "Thickness". Set the base thickness to 0.2. Add a Modifier of type Noise. Set the amplitude to 4 and the period to 20.
