Wirebomb earns its place in the superhive library by giving Blender two distinct routes to wireframe renders — the freestyle renderer and the wireframe modifier — with EEVEE, Cycles, and the internal render engine all covered.
Wirebomb is a Blender add-on focused on wireframe rendering. Blender can set up wireframe renders on its own, but the process can be tedious, and Wirebomb offers two methods to handle it. You can build a wireframe through the freestyle renderer's capabilities, or set one up using the wireframe modifier.
Both EEVEE and Cycles are fully supported, and the add-on is compatible with Blender 2.83. An earlier update also added support for Blender's internal render engine. Documentation is included.
The add-on was rewritten in an earlier release for compatibility with Blender 2.8x. Because of a name change, you should uninstall any previous version before installing the current one. Wirebomb is released under the GPL license and is listed here as free.
Wirebomb - Professional, Fast And Easy Wireframing is best for blender artists who need wireframe renders and want to choose between a freestyle-based setup and the wireframe modifier, with EEVEE and Cycles both covered.
Wirebomb - Professional, Fast And Easy Wireframing is completely free to download and use.
Wirebomb is compatible with Blender 2.83. An earlier release rewrote the add-on for compatibility with Blender 2.8x, and version 2.1.1 brought it in line with Blender 2.83 specifically, resolving an error that could occur when using the Basic AO Light option. Both of the add-on's wireframe methods work in this version, and both EEVEE and Cycles are fully supported. For the latest compatibility details and any newer builds, check the developer's page before installing.
Wirebomb fully supports both EEVEE and Cycles, so you can produce wireframe renders in either engine. Support for Blender's internal render engine was also added in an earlier update. The add-on provides two ways to create a wireframe: one uses the freestyle renderer's capabilities, and the other uses the wireframe modifier, and you can choose whichever method suits the render you are setting up. For examples of both approaches, see the developer's page.
Wirebomb changed its name at one point, and because of that you should uninstall any previous version of the add-on before installing version 2.1.1. That release made the add-on compatible with Blender 2.83 and fixed an error that could occur when using the Basic AO Light option. Earlier, version 2.0.0 rewrote the add-on for Blender 2.8x compatibility. For the complete list of changes across releases, the developer's page has the full update history for reference.
Wirebomb is listed as free here in the catalog, and it is released under the GPL license. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the current price and any licensing details, check the developer's page directly before downloading. The page also covers the add-on's two wireframe methods and the render engines it supports, which can help you confirm it fits your Blender setup.
