# Wireframe

**Wireframe** mode creates outlines of the geometric edges of the model. This helps to create models that look like user interface, schematics, or a computer generated motion graphics look.

## ENABLING

Go to the **Wireframe** material settings and check Enable.

## WIREFRAME SETTINGS

By default the wireframe and main geometry will both be on. To render just the wireframe, change the **Fill Mode** to **Lines Only**. Line Color will determine whether the diffuse comes from the **Line Color** picker below or from the current Material settings.

**Tip:** You can use the **Blend Modes** in the **Advanced** material settings with Add or Screen to create an overlapping semi-transparent wireframe look.

**Fresnel** and **Fresnel Bias** create a fading-on wireframe look as the lines wrap around the model. In this example the main Reflection was set to black.
