#3D Studio Screen Capture
6 messages in this thread
Can you tell me what the keystroke is for the "undocumented" 3D Studio feature
that allows you to capture the screen to a file? I've seen it up here before,
but lost the message that contained the information.
Best Regards,
Brian
Brian,
That would be CTRL-PRINT SCREEN. Also the line
SET SCREENGRAB=YES has to be added to your AUTOEXEC.BAT.

Mark,
Thanks. I'll play with it. I assume it sends the file to a pre-defined name
in the current or root directory. Is this true?

When you activate the screen grab a box pops up asking for the image name. The
image type is configured with RENDER\SETUP\CONFIGURE or something like that.
The image is then saved in your IMAGE-PATH.

Mark, FYI, you do not need to use renderer/setup to pick the image type you
want to save a screen capture as. You can simply type it in the dialog box. 3DS
will save in any of its standard formats.
