Viewing Models
« on: January 05, 2005, 11:51:40 am »
Hey Guys,
I have 2 different model viewers (Taldren's and SFC2ED). When I view
a model it looks really pixelated. Is there something better to use so I
can get some cool shots to use in wallpapers and signatures?

You can always use the skirmish mode of the game.. slow speed to 1, press D and F9 and then F1 and then position the camera the way you want.. being in Red Alert would be good is you intend to take a lot of shots.. F12 will capture screen in game.. however you can take only 1 image every 5 seconds..

Thanks Pesty, I appreciate the reply. Guess it's time to go digging
in the garage and find my game discs.

If you had a 3D modeling program, you could always import the model and do renders.  But not everyone has those programs.

I wish I had one Daihak. I'm so broke I can't even pay attention.   ;D
I know Milkshape is pretty reasonable but right now even that is
out of my budget.

I just reinstalled OP so I'm gonna go that route. Maybe later I'll
go terrorize the people on D2.   ;D

Pixilated?  Theat shouldn't happen.  What type of video card do you have?  I do know that both programs only render at 640x480 on my computer so it does have pixelated edges but the textures should be anti-aliased properly.

no need to do renders, turn up antialiasing and anisotropic filtering through your graphics cards drivers then run model viewer, mind you its harder to put onto a BG but if you dont need to itll suit you fine...

Omega1,
Thanks man, that really helped. I had my card set for performance not quality.
I can be so stoopid sometimes.   ;D

+1 for you.
