I'm able to do it using a third party converter, but it adds a step to everything. Might an export to JPEG option become available in MOI's next release?

Thanks,

Bob

Hi Bob,

> Might an export to JPEG option become available in MOI's next release?

It's actually available right now by setting up a shortcut key with a script on it.

Go to Options > Shortcut keys, and add in a new one, for the key put in whatever key you want to trigger it, and for the command part paste in the following:


script:/* Save snapshot to image file */ var v = moi.ui.getActiveViewport(); if ( v != null ) { moi.view.lineWidth = 4; var img = v.render( 2560, 2048 ); moi.view.lineWidth = 1; var name = img.getSaveFileName(); if ( name != '' ) img.save( name ); }



You can alter the values for 2560, 2048 to control the width and height of the generated image.

This version will pop up a file dialog and ask you for a file name to save, you can type in a filename with a .jpg extension and that will save it as a JPEG type file, or you can set the file type dropdown as another way to make a JPEG file type.


You can also set up a different script which will render the view and put the image into the clipboard so you can paste it into an image editing program, for that one see here:

That is awesome, thank you! Here's its first uses, a gun director tub for a 1/350th Fletcher-class destroyer. In this scale, there's not much detail to add. I"ll be making other versions with pipe railings and canvas covers to the rails.
