Applying Predefined Drawing Styles

You can use collections of attributes enabling to apply different drawing effects to your object.

Before you begin:
  • You cannot use Drawing styles with Live Rendering and Photo Studio.
  • Drawing styles have a significant impact on performance.
  • You can capture drawing styles through the Capture... command.
  • You cannot edit drawing styles.
  1. Right-click anywhere in the 3D area (not on geometry) then choose the appropriate style from the Style context menu.
    GraphiteBallpen




    LavisWatercolor




    ToonEngraving




    SketchyOld




    The selected style applies to the whole screen. You cannot apply it on selected parts of the object, or to the background only.

    When using the Lavis and Watercolor styles, the light field is discretized.

  2. Select the rendering styles you want to apply to your object.
    Graphite + No edges and points + Gouraud shading Graphite + Edges and points + Gouraud shading




    Note: Drawing styles might generate outlines but these outlines are different from those you can activate through the View Mode Customization dialog box.
  3. Optional: Change the ambience as required.
    You can mix ambiences and rendering styles.
    Toon + Dark Mirror + All edges Toon + Outdoor + No smooth edges




  4. To remove drawing styles, right-click, and then select None in the Style context menu.

    The last applied style is not stored in preferences. Therefore, any new tab you open is defined to None by default when you first access the Style context menu.
