Hey,
I've read a bit through several tutorials and one thing I wanted to try out was the Wire Material.
Those tutorials simply said something like "...and turn the wire option on".
This is what I did, made a new material for a Cube or a UVSphere for example, gave it a nice color and turned on "wire".
When I render now I don't see anything though. It renders as usual as soon as I turn wire off. No idea what I'm doing wrong here, can someone tell me if I forget something?
Didn't find anything in other forums on this. It all just said turn the "wire" option on to have a wire material...

Thanks in advance.

What material settings are you using with the wire option?

-Do you have alpha at 0 for reason?
-Are you using ray tracing? Wire materials don't get raytraced.

Ah, I see, I used Yafray, with Blender Internal it works fine.
Thankyou :)
