Ok, this isn't really a hugely difficult-to-answer question, but I'm having problems with it none the less. I figured this is most related to this section anyhow. I've created and finished a saber hilt (after 8 attempts). BUT, there doesn't appear to be any easy way of getting a closeup screenshot of it, other than fiddling with the cg_thirdpersoncameradamp and cg_fov settings, but even so, naturally the character's hand gets in the way of the shot. I've tried throwing it on the ground, which works well, although I'd like a shot in which the _spec.jpg layer shows through, because naturally I went all out on the fanciness there and want to show it off. So.. Any tips people? _______________ -Kauyon Draconis [Official master of Ataris] This post was edited by Esta on Oct 09 2005 10:16pm. |

Meh, gmax renders textures like a hamster renders fluent speech. IE, terribly. But as I've said before, modview works well. _______________ -Kauyon Draconis [Official master of Ataris] This comment was edited by Esta on Dec 12 2005 09:15pm. |

yeah I got the right idea im not misunderstanding just open up the program you use to create the hilt.then b4 you save it anyway you got to load the texture on it just zoom in on it then sum programs might let you take a screenshot but i use gmx so i have to use the printscreen button it worked for me.Unless you WANt and ingame pic which i didnt see such a request in you original post,oh and btw hoss it sounded a little offensive how you said i was wrong there kauyon . oh i bet you were trying _______________ Comments Owned- Darth Mike's100th.

Already tried that Pink, it isn't detailed/close-up enough, by far. Modview seems to be working, thought it doesn't seem to be able to render the _spec textures. Nevermind, I just psp'd the equivilant effect onto the base texture and screenshotted that. Ty peoples, I'll post some shots here sometime I guess. _______________ -Kauyon Draconis [Official master of Ataris] |

Yeah, Modview is good. I don't know if it renders shaders fully though. I would have thought dropping it on the ground in-game would work best... _______________ Saving the world, one kilobyte at a time. |
