I press the PrintScreen button a gazillions times, then I paste the image in Photoshop and crop it.

on your keyboard, next to scrolllock.
You can allso tick 'forcce wireframe' in the rendersettings.

There are really many ways to do this. None of them all that good, but some better that doing a print screen...No offence Marcel. ;)

Create a new material. Make it face mapped. Place a gradient ramp map in the diffuse channel. Make the type "box", and the gradient transitions "solid". This works kinda well, but looks wierdish on polys that are non-square...But it's barely noticeable.

Also, you can just render a "preview" from the animation menu. This will render out your viewport as a bitmap.

You can also copy your mesh and scale it ever-so-slightly, and then apply a wire material to the copied mesh. If it's animated, just use the mesher compund object instead of copying it.

Just some thoughts.
