I have something for you today. A simpler, better way of rendering wireframes for classwork or portfolios.
* Grab an empty material slot. Change the material from "Standard" (next to the name dropbox) to "Composite."
* Change the resulting base material to a pure white standard material. Make sure this is two sided. Return to the material's root.
* Add a pure black standard material into the first material slot. Tick the wire and 2-sided boxes here. In the Extended Parameters, change the line weight. While you may pick from a pixel amount, I suggest using units. Because the units recede into space, the line weight thins as it travels back around the form.
* Render! I suggest upping the antialiasing all the way.
Want to show off a little? Replace the base material with anything you like. Say, gold refractive glass for instance.
This method has many benefits over the couple of ways we've been taught to do this. It's perfectly accurate to your models, for one. We don't have to copy the geometry and add messy push modifiers. It's better than Photoshop overlays because it compensates for occluded front-facing geometry. Also, it's fast and looks amazing for very little effort.
