Faces outline not showing
« on: October 18, 2016, 09:16:29 PM »
On either the house preview or the model preview.  Eyes set to auto and the checkbox for outline is selected  on the effects settings.  Outline is dedicated to channel 1 on all models.  I have 4 monsters and none of them show.  Mouths work fine.  I'm running 2016.50 mac build.  I've run previous 3 builds and still see the same problem.  What am I missing?

Did you define the outline when you setup the face?

A couple of screenshots to show what I'm experiencing.  Yes, I believe I defined the outline in the model layout.  You can see that in pic 1.  Pic 2 is without a sequence open.  Pic 3 is sequence open, paused and a specific element selected.  You can see in the model preview that only the mouth is display even when I have the show outline checkbox selected.

I had a similar issue, but got it to work by first rendering all and then closing out and reopening XLights.

WHat does your color palette look look?  The eyes and outline would be the second and third colors selected (if any).  Make sure the model's node types can actually display those colors.   (or only have white selected)

Dan,

That is what it was.  The color palette had Red as the 2nd color and both White and Red was selected.  The model layout had only white.  I unchecked the Red in the color palette and the outlines began to show.

I knew it was something dumb I did :)

Thanks!!!
