Hello

I've got a mesh object and i'd like it to appear only as wireframe, how
could I do this ?

Thanks in advance,
O.Leonard

You cant. Unless you have access to the triangle-corners
themselves and thus are able to build your own wireframe-
view using cylinders+spheres, POV-Ray doesn't support
wireframe viewing, as it is a raytracer. Ergo it shoots rays
into the scenery and displays what it hits. Wireframe normally
is projecting the edges as lines onto the screen, and this isn't
done in POV-Ray.

Regards,
Tim

If you can import your mesh into Blender, you can use the Povanim script to
export it to Pov. If you select Wire in Blenders material window, it will
export the Mesh as a wireframe made out of cylinders.

If you have a mesh 1 object, you can use the mesh includes of Chris Colefax.

See
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/1434/tutorials/pcm/index.html.
The wire_mesh macro and the cylinder_mesh macro show wireframes.
