Sick of using viewport screenshots to show off your wireframes? Use this easy script instead for nice, neat wireframes!

Here is a script I’ve written to make setting up wireframe renders very simple. Run the script and it will create a new render layer and add a mental ray wireframe shader to all renderable objects. In addition, a simple UI provides options for changing wireframe color, width, and masking. I think this script would be nifty as a shelf button.

I used MEL for this one because I usually use python and wanted to practice MEL’s syntax. Python is still my go-to

The script follows Ayan Ray’s first method in “The Best Way to Render Wireframe in Maya” 

Enjoy the script and please give suggestions for features!
