For many, writing the tool to render wireframe would be like reinventing the wheel since their are so many scripts available to do the job or some tutorials that explain how following few steps you can render to wireframe. That's what I have created to but I did all this to increase my skills in python and its usage with Maya. And whats bad when the script can do all the steps in just one click.Here is how to use:

Usage:

1. Download and save it to your scripts directory.

2. in shelf button you must type the 3 lines below

import Wireframe
reload(Wireframe)
Wireframe.render()

Save the shelf button and you are ready to go!!!

If you just hit the button or execute the above code you will get wireframe render without Ambient Occlusion if you press the CTRL button with shelf bar button you will get the wireframe render with Ambient Occlusion.

It makes use of Mental Ray, so please make sure the plugin is loaded and default renderer is set to Mental Ray.
