<div></div>My first attempt at a 360 screenshot, not bad but it gets a little large at higher resolutions <img src="http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/sootyuk/images/minisoot.gif"> <img src="http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/sootyuk/images/sooty2.gif"> <div></div><p>Message Edited by sootyuk on <span class=date_text>09-07-2005</span> <span class=time_text>05:34 PM</span>

That is very nice, how much frames are used? 360? <div></div>

<DIV>Not too shabby! <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

<img src="http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/sootyuk/images/sooty3.gif"> I used 100 frames for them, only take a min to do in animation shop too. Action shots are great <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

silly question. what is the command to do 360 shots again? and what program did you use to make them? <div></div>

/cl_screenshot_orbit_count x sets the number of pics in 1 orbit then /cl_screenshot_orbit actualy takes it. on an action shot everything even freezes in place during the orbit so that the shot looks nice. I did a really quick job stitching these together using animation shop, came free with paintshop pro. It literally only takes a min to make. <div></div>

[sootyuk]

I've done a couple at 360 frames 240x188 they looks outstanding, but unfortunately the gif ends up about 8meg. The original screenshots are over 1.5gig on the disk too I've stuck a sample <a href="http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/sootyuk/images/grif2.gif" target=_blank>here</a> if anyone wants to see the sort of thing you can make. but its 8meg <div></div>

[sootyuk]

I assume you'll freeze as if you were lagging, but i've not noticed anything like that. <div></div>

I think they use tga as its much higher quality than jpg. Most paint programs will open tga, I am using jasc painshop pro, which had animation shop with it. Can get a trial version off the net to try it out. After doing this i wish it were possible to take a series of screenshots to capture an emote. <div></div>

[TheRealDude]

<DIV>you can with fraps <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> then just import it in as a gif .... i know macromedia can do it as well as "Gif Animation Studio" heh</DIV>
