Creating a Rendered View In Black and White

I had a client asking about a rendered view where you can see all the lights and shadows, but only in black and white.

Here is the image using one of my custom Renderworks Styles.

Here are the settings for my Renderworks Style:

Now, if you want to create a Renderworks Style that shows all the same  lighting and shadows, but does not show the textures, duplicate your existing style and edit the settings as shown in this image.

And here is the resulting rendered view.

Remember that when you turn off the textures, you will also turn off the transparency on the glass objects, meaning that you will not see through the glass. If you want to see though the windows, turn off the class that controls the glazing.
