Rendering Wireframe

Hi,

Is there a way of rendering with the wireframe turned on? I am trying to render a gold object but I would like to still see the wireframe of the mesh...

Thanks

Ed

overlay an high res printout from eg. technical view mode, or preferably create a make2d with current view and overlay in illustrator. however this will not work for meshes (make2d is nurbs only)

you could also extract the wireframe and pipe it (better in grasshopper), but beware your mesh settings; thousands of pipes will bring your machine down.

What I do to acheive this is the technical view (or wireframe) in combination with the normal print command.
There you can select "Image File" as an output. I usually put the resolution much higher than I need it an resize it in photoshop as a smart object.
I think it sould also work with a vector output and a pdf, but I didn't try this one out yet.
