How do you guys get such clean screen grabs, mines like ridiculously pixelated.

Heres my first entry into one of these. I would love to know how to take a clean screen grab so it's not so pixelated and actually look half decent. If any one wants to share some techniques that would be great.

Here is mine any way.

well from your screenshot it seems that you are working with maya. am i right ?

midduke · 22-06-2009, 10:52 AM

correct

psychodaddy · 22-06-2009, 11:20 AM

i'm afraid i cant help you then. but you could try zooming your viewport as much as possible to keep your object in the composition frames. your object in the screenshot is only taking like 40%.

sorry for off-topic guys.

also try downsizing your screenshot afterwards, It helps smooth out the jaggies as well.

My maya viewport doesn't look that bad though, you sure you have it set up correctly and use hi quality rendering in the viewport?

The zombie-fighters favourite ... the pickaxe (took 30 odd minutes) with around 2k tris.

And a smoothed one

The plunger is kinda funny, but here's my first entry into the fray:

Had enough time to bring it into Zbrush afterwards which was nice.

First of all, keep contrasting colors for viewport background and model. Press Ctrl + Space to maximise viewport and take a screen shot. You can down-size it in photoshop later. For changing viewport background color, go to Window > Settings/preferences > color settings. This will popup a window called 'colors'. Under General tab open 3D Views and change color for Background.

I had a concept were there were spikes coming from the sides but that got messed up and threw away a lot of my time to refine and smooth. So i ended up with this.
