Does anyone know how to render a scene in wireframe?

I have a logo that I would like to render but I need the background alpha'd out. So I cant take a snapshot of the desktop to get it. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

There are (at least) four ways to render wireframes:

1. Use the capture tool.
2. In display options, select show wire on unselected options. In the render tree and unattach the shader from the material surface node.
3. Use the Toon Shaders (http://www.edharriss.com/tutorials/tutorial_toon_wireframe/toon_wireframe.pdf)
4. Get the Free PT_Showedges Shader fromPHOENIX TOOLS (http://www.phoenixtools.com/products/free_download.html)


Hope this helps!

Thanks for the quick reply. A few questions for you if you have a moment.

I tired 2 but the result was the logo rendering in black. I brought it into Photoshop and their was no alpha channel.

3 worked but the logo is teselated so the wireframe is very abunant. Im not geting the effect I want.

I would like to use your second suggestion but how do I reslove my problem?

Thanks.
