I suppose you speek about something made with Moi ?

Orient your objects as you want
then use this script

here the size X,Y will be 2560 *2560 pixels (you can make biggest following your memory of your graphic card: just change numbers)
The background will be black
Past all in your favorite 2D prog from theClipBoard!


script: /* Render to the ClipBoard */ var prev_background = moi.view.viewportBackgroundColor; moi.view.viewportBackgroundColor = 0x000000; moi.view.lineWidth = 4; moi.grid.display = false; moi.grid.showXYAxes = false; moi.ui.getActiveViewport().renderToClipboard( 2560, 2560 ); moi.view.lineWidth = 1; moi.grid.display = true; moi.grid.showXYAxes = true; moi.view.viewportBackgroundColor = prev_background;

You have also solution to make a PDF if it's for illustration !
Export as PDFformat

Or AI for Illustrator (vectorial)

Example of ImageJPG Method of ClipBoard (remark the neat lines drawings of orange & blue objects)
Of course JPG is maybe not the best format (destructive: see red surface around line on the "noze" :)
prefere TIFF in your 2D Prog and red surfaces will be perfect!

Hi designer - often times the next step after you've constructed an object would be to bring your 3D model into a rendering program and then generate a rendering of it there with light sources set up and materials applied... That's probably the most common way that bitmap images are generated from 3D models.

If you just want a screen capture image to make a bitmap of what you see on the screen in MoI you can do that using the script that Pilou posted above. To set that up go to Options > Shortcut keys, then push the "Add" button. Inside of the new row put in whatever key you want for triggering it, and in the second column paste in the script that Pilou has above. Then when you push that key an image will be placed on the clipboard, paste it into a paint program to save it.

Also if you're working with 2D illustration programs you may want to save to PDF or AI formats for transferring your objects to a 2D drawing type format.

Many thanks Pilou and Michael.

I will now try the suggestions out.

Just a note that the design was intended for 2d format, its not 3d. I used MOI because the symetry and precise angles just cannot be made on regular MS paint type programs. All i wanna do is just export the logo out of MOI into MS paint, slap on the company name and off the to printer.

Many thanks folks.
