Yep, I was going to suggest the materials library/constant/fade material ...
and set the level of fade for your foreground objects as you need but I cant
test this for outlines. Also forced visibility for the background might be
useful but again I am unable to test.

Subject: Re: How Do I render The Wireframe ?
Outline will wipe out background if you use the Black and White render
setting option. Perhaps if you try Reasonable Quality or Quality over
speed
... and check the draw outline option in its render settings tab ...
maybe
the rest of the "reasonable quality" might hold anything else you need.
Just
check the black outline and make sure the second box down is not checked.

Tried that too but it is the same as the built-in "Shaded with white
outlines" . That is , it renders the object , then the outline . I
need the object to be transparent , or not rendered at all )ex-
cept the wireframe) .
I'm sure it is possible with VSL , to create a material that
renders wires, or Post-Processes the wireframe . There may even
be some kind of workaround using the background image instead
of the camera backdrop , but I can't create it or find any
solution .
Too bad . Being able to match wires to video is essential
and the only way I can do that at the moment is to simply
advance forward , one frame at a time and then do a manual
screen grab .
Which reminds me , didn't we have a 'Frame-Forward' control
on the Animation Playback window ? I know we did in V3 , but
I could have sworn I saw it in V4.5 too . Maybe there's a
hotkey for that ?
Thanks .
