If it is a polygon object you want to get in wireframe I suggest that you download the Wire Data plugin.
It is located in the plugin section of this site.
With this plugin you can render wireframe without

1) Map a Grid texure on the Transparency.

2) Set the sphere's Doubleside to OFF in the Tesselation Window.

3) Make sure the Normals are facing the correct direction, if not turn Opposite to true in the Tesselation window.

4) Then render away.

THANKS GUYS !!! God bless you !

I solved, but this is only a raw workaround, not a native WIREFRAME conversion of the maya engine.

You helped me... hey but aw should really rewrite their renderer. But in mental ray you can't too render wireframes with HLR out of the box and maya too, and prman too... only max's cheap renderer.
isn't this a BIG S*** ???

IF I REALLY HATE 1 THING, THEN THERE ARE WORKAROUNDS... the things should work OUT OF THE BOX.

Expensive software, but if you want the SIMPLEST things work... they are inexistent. (Like HLR for Wireframes).
