Key Steps 1) Shader Setup: Assign an aiUtility material to your objects. Within the attribute editor, set the Shade Mode to AO (Ambient Occlusion) and the Overlay to Polywire. This creates a clean look with soft contact shadows and visible mesh edges. 2) Scene Management: Name the shader (e.g., ao_wireframe_SHD) so it can be easily found and applied to the entire scene node via the "Assign Existing Material" right-click menu. 3) High-Resolution Output: In the Render Settings, navigate to Image Size and set the resolution to 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160). Jack suggests checking "Maintain Width/Height Ratio" and entering 2160 into the height field for accuracy. 4) Rendering & Saving: Once the render reaches 100%, use Alt + Right Mouse Button to navigate the preview. Save the final output as a JPEG or PNG by manually typing the file extension in the "Save As" dialog. This method provides an efficient way to showcase modeling topology and surface detail without the complexity of full lighting and texture setups.
