Question wireframe shader

[freudork]

anyone could do this wireframe render in the render view??? it is a scene that several blocks in the city, with wireframe shader.

i forget about that.

Look on the internet to see if maya can do a "Hiddenline" veiwport shading. If so render the scene as normal, then take a screenshot from the same camera in Hiddenline mode, (this hides the backfacing wires) then composite them together again, overlay should get you going, but have a fiddle. Thats all I do to do wireframe renders in Houdini, or if I want a wireframe render of a meshsmoothed object as an isoline object.

EDIT: This is a Houdini tutorial, but this is exactly the method I am talking about http://www.sidefx.com/images/stories...ame_render.mov

Working away bears it's monetary fruits though (continuation of thread hijack)

this was a scene with animation, i cant take screenshot on that. i probably use 6.5 or 7.0 at that time for the animation. the 2009 maya seems fail to open it again.

i forget the way to do that sort of transparent wireframe shading.
