Default Re: [Vegetation] Jungle Fever CONTINUED

I tested your suggestions, in fact it was very similiar to what I used to do.

But I noticed two problems doing this way, its hard to set camera 100% parallel to the model and when taking these screenshot you are using a perspective view, which "distort" the image, making the closer objects much larger than the rear ones.
It isn't noticiable with smalls objects, but with the cluster and big trees that I was working, there's a huge difference.

So, what I'm using is...

Create a new map 256x1
Drag your model to the center of the map.
Set not to draw terrain,fog and sky.
Set your background color to a absolute blue.
Rotate your model 90º in pitch axis
Type in the command line - renderer.maketopworldscreen 2048 "C:\sideview1" 0/500/0 1024
Rotate your model 180º in yaw axis
Type again - renderer.maketopworldscreen 2048 "C:\sideview2" 0/500/0 1024

It will generate two 2048x2048 dds files of your model taken within isometric view, then use the magic wand to select the blue background color and set it as the Alpha channel.

I'm receiving some PM about sharing these models for other jungle maps, of course I'll share it, but only when I have finished. I'm kind busy right now, I think after january 15th I'll be back to work.
I don't know what is the politics about sharing content, even if isn't been made by official Devs, I think it will need some "audit" since it will be heavily used by 3 or more commfacs!
