Edges is a very simple texture map that allows you to achieve an effect similar to the wireframe materials is 3ds Max. Since it is a texture, is allows you to create some interesting effects that are not possible with the standard 3ds Max materials. The texture can also be used as a bump map to produce a "round corners" effect for mesh objects.
Edges Tex - the color of the edges.
Bg Tex - the color of the faces
Width - this determines the thickness of the edge lines:
Show Hidden edges - when checked, this will render all edges of the object. Otherwise, only edges marked as "visible" will be rendered.
Show Subtriangles - enable this option to see edgesgenerated by displacement mapping or render time subdivision.
