This was written for the skinning tutorial but the but will also work for general screen shots
So now we've re-skun our model and have an all singing and all dancing new skin to finish off the skin we need to make icons for it, to do this we need to take screen shots and to do this we start here!
I built this map for the purpose of doing the icons its all one colour and if you want to use it down load it here.
There are a lot of commands but for this tutorial I'll use the basic basic ones.
First find a nice spot to take your model shot open the console and type “cg_thirdperson 1”
and enter. Now type “cg_thirdpersoncameradamp 0” this disables the camera movement so you can turn and face yourself as it were. The camera angle will stay the same depending where you place it so play a round and get the best view. To re-engage the camera type “ cg_thirdpersoncameradamp 1”.
now drop the console and type “\bind /screenshot” this makes the / key the camera button. Now press the / key and in the left hand top corner of the screen you get something like “screenshot 00000001.jpeg” taken, and saves it in the base fold in a folder called screenshots.
other camera commands can be found here
Once you've got enough shots you can use the layer command to do one nice multi shot picture.
