As well you can go to the out/ and create a wren rop which will render a vector based hidden line like a mental ray contour render.

The line width is default at 2. It is very fast so I usually render at twice the resolution and sample down.

EDIT - As a note is will be the cusp angle in a facet sop that will control what angle the hidden line effect will have.

I know this post is really old, and i am using Houdini 13 but I can't seem to find any other help. I've done what the above said to do, but my renders only come out completely black. Not sure what to do…

Better solution now with renderman:-)
Directly rendered in Houdini with a pxrvisualizer. Really smooth.

Have a look here for wireframe render:

To get Subdivision in renderman:
https://renderman.pixar.com/resources/current/RenderMan/rfhSubdivision.html [renderman.pixar.com]

Right is Houdini viewport with “Display as Subdivision” on the “head”
