How to Render a Model in Wireframe?

Anonymous

I have an assignment due tomorrow...lol and am having difficulties rendering my object in wireframe.  I am using 3ds Max 2022 version and I can not find the 'Shader Basic Parameters' rollout in my  Material Editor as I have seen on other Youtube videos.  How do I render my model in Wireframe?

I'm assuming you are using Arnold. You can search for the material in the search box. Also make sure you renderer is set to Arnold.

This a good you tube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjfx9l6kqEI

Under Shader and Basic Parameters, tick on WiRe, if you want to see the backside, tick also on 2-sided

If you want a combination, just copy the same object and apply another material as shown on the image below

Where do you find 'Shader and Basic Parameters'? In my version 3dsMax 2022,
it is not located, or doesn't show in my Material Editor:

Change to Slate Material Editor, and then it will be easier to search for that node. Which renderer are you using?

Using Arnold and when I switch and search, I still can't seem to locate it.  Remember, I am a COMPLETE newbie at this...  Just need to do a wireframe render for an assignment and can't seem to find out how for version 2022.

You have to type Wire

Oh, that way.  Yeah. I have tried that method with mixed results.  Doesn't seem to want to render correctly.  I was hoping to find out how to use 'Shader and Basic Parameters' as that method seems easiest.  just can't seem to find it in 2022 version...

That option appears on Blinn material, which isn't supported by Arnold. I can give you a hand with the Arnold bit. Can you share a reference of what you are trying to achieve, and how the wire node isn't giving you what you need?
