For wireframes; you can either render out a Toon pass as "Ink only", then in the Sampling tab activate "Facet detection". This will render out wires.

Alternatively, use the "Start Capture" tool to render out your desired viewport (or cam ) as hidden line, or shaded, or whatever is desired at double-rez, then shrink it down.

I'm trying to show a fully rendered image fading into a wire frame or shaded version. I remember in XSI 5.0 and before there were some different options of what type of render to output. In 6.0 I can't seem to find anything that will allow me to render my scene as wire frame or hidden line or shaded. Is there such a thing anymore?
Also I find the new "render manager" a little confusing compared with how it used to be done in earlier XSI versions. Earlier today I set up a 2 frame render as NTSC and with my high anti-alias settings, but when I rendered I got a 1280x960 low aliased image. I discovered that there are different render settings in many places in the render manager even though I only have one pass. In the good old days I would just go to the first tab of the render settings and set the filename, frames, image type, etc...... and I would get what I want. Now it's a crap shoot if the finished image will have the settings I intended, as there is always some hidden menu that overrides the menu I am using. Maybe it's just me?


Anyway enough bitching, If anyone can answer my question about the rendering of wire and or shaded/hidden line that would very helpfull.

Cheers,
Karl.
