Video: Rendering Solid Wireframes

I've always really liked the solid wireframe renders produced by "other" 3D apps. I didn't think it was possible to do something like that in Blender, until I stumbled upon an old post (by Matt Ebb, aka "broken" - http://mke3.net) at blenderartists.org that provided a great tip.

This video will show you how easy it is to create such renders and also cover some ways to enhance this effect.

Here are some example renders done in Blender:

Thanks, that's a really nice tut! I never really knew what the Zoffset does. Now I know! thanks.

Another note, if you're rendering subsurfs, the 'optimal draw' button also works for the wire render, so you can see only the clean level 1 subdiv without the extra faces showing.

Thanks for all of the kind words! I'm glad it helped.

Be sure to try turning down the Alpha value of the "wire" object so it doesn't look too thick and distracting.

I was just messing with this, and i found something out. Unless you want hours and hours of render time when it should only be a few minutes, Make ũber, doubly sure that you have any form of Ambient Occlusion turned OFF!
