This may sound boring to some of you but I still canīt believe that there is no easy way to create a good antialiased wireframe texture in maya or zBrush

I have searched the net and the zBrush central and cgsociety and found all kinds of approaches but they all have their disadvantages

What I donīt understand:
Each and every 3D software is able to show the wireframe in hardware rendering mode - so why the hell canīt I just export those wireframe as a texture???
I heard there is a feature like this within cinema4d...

Maybe there is someone out there to share my anger about that...

Easy way... render 2x the size, the rescale it down with bicubic or somesuch filter.

Sorry, but I have no glue what you are talking about

rendering double size and rescaling is a simple way to get rid of aliasing (like zBrushīs AAhalf)
but if i generate my wireframe texture via maya>UV texture editor>image>create psd network + UVsnapshot at 2k (which is max size allowed) I get aliasing artefacts anyway no matter what I render at which size and rescale to whatever size

When I researched the internet I found out that there is just NO good&easy way to create perfect wireframe texture for software rendering - except with special software like the polygon wireframe shader from provide 3d (http://products.provide3d.com/polyData/)
