or you can render it in wireframe mode from the hardware render buffer. Always works for me, unlike some of the plugins on highend3d :annoyed:

I see there is more people than just me looking for a perfect solution on how to render in wireframe. I had tried both ways to do it too and the final output is not that greate. I used to be a MAX user and it has an option in its material editor to render in wireframe. The wire frame was shaded, antialiased, and also you can adjust the thikness of the wire. I think the only way to get something simillar in Maya would be to develope some kind of shader which would do this. I guess I will have to look deeper into Maya Development Kit. :)

The 'WireData' plugin by Martin Leguizamon works great for me!
Also his NURBS Data plugin is very good...

I actually really wanted to give this a try and unfortunately I have maya 5.01 and the API used to compile the 3.0 plugin is incompatible with the new version.

I tried the link to the 4.0 beta but it doesn't work and it just tells me to go to his homepage which also isn't there.

Does anybody know an updated link or have a version of the Wiredata plugin which works with Maya 5.x ?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys

To render TRUE Polygons Wireframe in Software use the
'polyData' Plug-In instead of the 'wireData' one.

how do you go upon rendering in wireframe and shaded wireframe.
and I mean the ture objects wire frame.
and is it possible to do 1 object with wire and another shaded.
and is it possible to render half of the object in wire with the other being shaded
