you can do a viewport capture:
in each viewport, under the camera icon, there is
a capture option, you get to set some options, and then it will play through
the timeline, saving frame per frame what is visible in the
viewport.
in the visibility options you can change a ton of
things, to specify what is visible and what is not. (such as turning of the
mentioning of the construction mode, the display of the axis,
...)
While the capture is running you should not
be doing anything else on top of the window, since that will show
up in the rendered images. (depending on your graphics card)
you can do about the same, by specifying another
render engine in a renderpass. it defaults to mental ray but you have access
to any of the viewport modes there. With the advantage that this method allows
you to do other stuff while the render is running.
thirdly, there are shaders that give a wireframe
look in mental ray.
In some cases this could be preferable, eg if you
need motion blur or dislacement.
one shader I can think of it a free
phoenixtools one that shows the triangulation.
but there's others.
just google on 'wireframe xsi" and you'll find
some.

Hi, Forgive my ignorance, but in the old Soft 3D one could output a
wireframe render. How is this done in XSI?
Thanks,
Mark
