The Wire Color Render Element stores the wireframe color of the object as set in the 3ds Max scene. The color is flat, with no highlights or shadows. This render element can be used to generate masks for objects for use in compositing.

Use VRayWireColor when you wish to separate objects by wireframe color rather than by Object ID or Material ID.
