Wireframe render script 1.0.0 for Maya (maya script)
This tool creates a new render layer with the selected objects and assigns them a Toon Outline with some specific attribute values for the wireframe to be "visible" in the render view..

This tool creates a new render layer with the selected objects and assigns them a Toon Outline with some specific attribute values. It also sets the renderer of this new layer to be the Maya Software because of its compatibility to render Toon Shaders. This allows the user to "render the wireframes" ofthe selected objects. The material information of the scene is not lost because a layer containing all objects in the scene is also created before the wireframe layer.
It not fully finished but I intend to keep working on it and repost it when ready. So far it works only on polygon objects, as far as I know. I hope it proves helpful.
