You can either do it through material mapping. Make a grid in photoshop (or whatever) and uvw map. This is pseudo 3d. Or a better method is to make a sphere and add a atom array object to that sphere. Or...get the plugin wireshade. Hope this is what you are looking for-good luck

JR,

Is the shader worth the money?

I really dont think so...but u do get a little more control because you apply as a material where as atom array wireframes the whole model. So i guess if you want part of a model wireframe..then yes. I don't do a lot of wireframe so atom array usually works for me.

Howdy,

Another way would be to create a sphere with the right number of subdivisions for your latitude and longitude lines, make it editable, render it separately with the Cel Renderer and use it as a mask to add the lines in a compositing app.

Adios,
