go to the hardware render buffer, and change it to wireframe

Heya Gamester

Read through the posts on my entry thread. I talk a bit about how to get that render style. The lighting (if you can call it that) is achieved through the use of a mental ray dirtmap node that is attached to the ambient color channel of a lambert shader. The wireframe is done through Maya's vector renderer and then composited in photoshop. Thats the short version anyhow. Good luck with your effort!

That wont give you a wireframe on shaded render. All that does is give you a empty ( none shaded )wireframe render.
