hi ppl.... im looking for a way to render a nice wireframe
shot of something i modelled ...i attemted to playblast
it with wireframe on shaded mode....and that got ok-ish
results, i just couldnt get lines to antialias, i know you
can do this in the hardware render buffer but how do i
display my edges in there??
also tried backface culling but that didnt work there cuz
some stuff turned inside out and u could see wires through
the object :(

is there any methods or plugs that can help me out?

Yes!

My tutorial provides all of those things!

I'm completely updating it at the moment though because I found a much better way of doing it.

I'll post agan when I'm done (it'll be soon).

Hi,

It just so happens I had a revalation yesterday and totally rewrote the wireframe tutorial!

I discovered a much better way of doing it.

Here's the link:

Oh, and it works for all geometry types now!
