export/capture hi-res frame

[pond]

hello,

i'm really liking the imagery zge can create and i want to use it on a printed poster for example.

could anyone recommend the best way to acquire an image that is up around 3500x5000 which i can edit in gimp?

i see that i can enter this as a custom screen dimension in App: and it builds and plays (slooowly). but im not sure where to go from here,

i also thought about zgeviz exporting an image sequence? but it does not allow custom resolutions

any help is appreciated

Hi Pond,

Perhaps this tool can do the trick:

http://keyj.emphy.de/kkapture-fake-screen-res-patch/

It captures video output from programs and saves them in high (including larger than screen area) resolutions. I haven't tried it with ZGE but it should work. Let me know if there are any problems.

hey ville thanks for the quick reply

i just tested out kkapture and it works perfectly!! thanks!

if anyones interested, i used these settings:

i set 4000x4000 in the zge app, with fullscreen unticked

built the exe

in kkapture i set the codec as .bmp , 10fps, unticked audio, ticked fake resolution and set as 4000x4000

the bitmaps take up disk space pretty quickly so look out...to stop capturing just close the .exe

one more quick question,

ive been using kkapture a lot and its really great, there is only one thing i cant seem to do which is capture with a transparent background

i tried right clicking app.clear and setting it to alpha 0, but no luck

is there any way to do this?

thanks

I'm not sure that is a supported feature. Try post a question on the kkapture-patch page, perhaps he can fix it for you.
