Hey, I'm new to houdini, and I'm working on a particle animation. I want to show the processes behind the animation and I'm wondering how I can render out frames to display in wireframe mode. I see it done all the time, so I know there must be a way. Thanks to anyone who answers this for me. 8)

There is a renderer called Wren (in Rops) that does wireframe.

You can also use an Ends SOP and set it to Unroll in U and V, this creates open curves which you can then apply a Width attribute to (using Attribute Create) and Mantra will render those as wires.

Cheers,

There's always good 'ol opengl render, if you want the straight off the screen look….

What about just a flipbook then?

thanks for the help. the opengl idea worked great.
