I'm not sure but I believe that someone asked how to render in wireframe in Carrara. I figured how to. This may be very old news. But has some real possiblities for some cool renders. Goto to the render room select ZBuffer as your render engine, you'll get the options for either wireframe, goruad, sketch. It has some quarks though it seems it will render the background as the color of your U.I. and not the selecterd background color or backdrop color. Here's a compsite image a made.

Well yes the image is a composite of a regular render and ZBuffer combined in photoshop to get desired affect. But the when rendering in ZBuffer the image will have the background color of your Assembly room ort what ever color you have set in your preferences for some reason. Even if you goto the scene settings and pick a color for the backdrop or background it will still use the color from your interface. You can control the color of the mesh by simply changing the color in the texture room for hte model. Hope this helps if not I'll post some more stuff.
