Wireframe Rendering in Blender

Sometimes when you are working with Blender you want to render a beauty shot, but want to also show the wireframe of the model you are working on.  This video shows that process.  (As an added bonus, it also shows how to enable wireframe display while in Object mode in case you were wondering how ).

The Process
