Rendering wire frame on shaded?

I'm putting together a modeling reel in Maya 2008 and I would like to be able to show my wireframe outlines ( shading>wire frame on shaded ). I have wire -frame -on- shaded selected in the viewing port but the lines aren't there when I render it out.

Enable outline rendering in mentalray

  1. ssign yoru material sg a outline by chekkinge enable contour rendering
  2. render globals set the contour rendering and draw by property difference to to finding to, around shiluette, around poly faces, and front vs backfaces. Dsable all contrasts.

Render. Pretty basic stuff really its even in the manual

lines aren't there when I render it out

Maya is not a wysiwyg software. Maya is  WYCGTSSISNNWYCG (What You Can Get To See See Is Nowhere Near What You Could Get) softwate, which by the way is even better.
