>>other outline ideas?…
I've thought about this before, and I think you can do it with traditional
image processing techniques using sobel, (or perhaps dilation and erosion
kernels) on the alpha channels of the individual objects against a black
background. I think one could create an outline layer consisting of just the
outline that could be composited with the rendered image. I haven't
experimented, but it may be a bookkeeping nightmare to keep up with all the
layers.
I vote for a built in outline option, and ESPECIALLY a simple hidden line
wireframe rendering option with real wireframes.
