Re: rendering wirefrmame?

unless of course you are rendering all your jobs in hi-def, render stuff 
double resolution and
it goes out of the edge of screen, and you end up with nice bits of 
interface in your images....

and facet detection renders triangles, when you want quads, like the 
wireframe/hidden line display in xsi

if only there was a rendering type that was hardware based that did 
antialiasing, and tile stitched bigger than display inmages together.....

wait a minute, there WAS, but it's broken now
