I'm not even sure it is possible win BlendLuxcore:
It should be possible, maybe in pyluxcore::DefineBlenderMesh(), if I'm not mistaken.
But it's a very minor feature, so I won't put it on my Todo list for now. Anyone else is welcome to implement it of course.

If you have the information required, it is possible, you have just to set the vertex AOVs used by wireframe texture in BlendLuxCore instead of using the Shape to automatically create them.

Just a thought in case this does get implemented eventaully On the corona example:
I notice that the rendered teapot in corona has curved wireframe lines. Since that would not be the case with triangles as large as shown in the model, an equivalent feature probably needs to take subdivision modifiers into account.

Actually, Corona looks to me like it is just using a texture and is not related to the underlaying mesh at all :?:

Your're right. The edges in the render and UI screenshot looked identical at first glance (except the curvature), but they do appear to be slightly different in location.

Hello, what's up? And the shader bevel, how is it?
