I just saw where Opensource Obscure posted in his feed that the current development viewer allows images to be posted to our feed. I have yet to learn out or try it out. But, its on my list.
Update: Was on my list… 🙂
OK I found it. Press Ctrl-Shift-S to open the camera snapshot panel. See the image for the new panel in viewer 3.2.3 (the development viewer (244722).
Sending the image to your feed incurs no cost.
This is a nifty little feature. But there is more.
Freeze Frame
This is a new feature in the Advanced Panel of the Camera Snapshot panel. It is awkward to explain. Lance has the feature in Dolphin 3 too.
Because the viewer is rendering the world it can freeze the world. Previous to this feature being added, we would freeze the screen, essentially taking a screen capture still image.
Freeze Frame is different. The world, all moving things, avatars, and everything is frozen in place. BUT… not the camera. You can press Alt-LMB and move the camera to a new position.
This is great for those animations I have that make poses I want to capture. Once I freeze my avatar I can adjust my camera and get the exact picture I want. Awesome.
Hi. Alt-caming on Frozen Frame is already present in viewers 1. It’s an excellent feature, even if it’s not well documented.
Wow! I did not know that… I suppose that indicates the scope of user interface challenges the Lab faces.
