OT: Lots of pretty pictures! Look down!
 

Is it just me or is the subject box smaller?

Anyway, I can get the screenshot window up, but I have no idea how to save the image.

Narf, in any windows program you can usually just hit "Print Screen" (next to the scroll lock and pause keys on your keyboard found to the right of the function keys.)

This copies the current screen to memory (the clipboard) and then you can open up most any paint program even MSPaint and simply 'paste' the screenshot into a new document. (ctrl+v is the keyboard shortcut to 'paste'.)

I hope this helps, Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Yeah, it does. Thanks. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif
Image removed, new, smaller, sleeker, faster image with better turning radius to follow. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Narf, nice image but perhaps you could resize it so that it does not mess up the formatting of the thread. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Nice fighter, reminds me of the Fazrah http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
And I hope you enjoy using Wings http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif
BTW, if you want you can also render in OpenGL or if you have it Yafray - which is free at www.yafray.org (don't be fooled by the low Version number, it's actually quite functional); you can also download plugins to render in Povray or Renderman compliant renderers, but the Renderman plugin is currently broken and won't let you put multiple textures on a single obect... a pity since it looks so easy to fix and Renderman renderers produce such nice output... they even let you use custom procedural shaders, and Aqsis (a free Renderman renderer, www.aqsis.com) even has a "bake" plugin to convert procedural textures to UV textures so you could use them with Starfury or SE5! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif

How do you use the OpenGL renderer? I've got the image in the window, now what do I do?

Re: OT: Anybody know how to do screenshots in Wing
 

Hmm, it's not saving to a file somewhere? Let's see... oh, you have to hit the little box thingy to the right of "OpenGL" on the Render menu; that will bring up the render options window and you can choose to render to a TGA file, which should be convertible to a BMP or JPG or whatever you want by something like IrfanView.

To get a better render than OpenGL provides, you might want to download Yafray at www.yafray.org; Wings has pretty good support for Yafray rendering, and you get more options for the texturing, too, since it's a raytracer.

And here's a pretty picture for your trouble. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Now, to try out yafray...

Oh, and there really is more to come. I've got some models already made.
I was thinking of a certain old tv show I think we all know when I made it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

And a bow...

With a string...

Should probably go back to an earlier one and seperate the string from the bow...

Mad bow! Mad bow! Yeah, lame joke. But still funny.

This one I call a disrupter for no particular reason.

A carrier. The fighter launch slots are too smoothed, but you can see them.

A double-hulled ship. Battlecruiser of the Crab Imperium?

Think throwing things and figure it out. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
http://www3.telus.net/funnybnz/Frisbee.png

It's a sheild; heraldic, I think.

It's a plasma gun with attached shoulder strap.

A spikey thing. Ed Kolis, I think, was telling me some of the stuff you could do in wings, so for some reason I did them all on one cube. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I hope I don't have to tell you what this one is. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
http://www3.telus.net/funnybnz/Sword.png

And that's it. There's a few more, but they aren't as visually interesting. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Ok, um, how do I install yafray as a plugin?

Re: OT: Anybody know how to do screenshots in Wing
 

I like the bows - would make a good addition to any fantasy based mod with some textures on them http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

To set up Yafray, just download it from www.yafray.org and follow the installer instructions, then go into Wings and hit the Edit | Plugin Preferences | Yafray menu option, and browse to the location of yafray.exe. There's no plugin you need to install because Yafray support is built into Wings.
