RE: Screen Grab

[nige777]

I found a very useful sounding screen-grabbing plug-in on the Viz 2.5 forum -

http://forum.worldviz.com/showthread.php?t=710

However if I try and use it with Viz 4 I get
Loading File: tut_ground.wrl

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'captureScreen'


I've placed the new VideoCapture.dll in the DLL folder but I'm still having no luck however I've noticed that there is a VizCapture.pyd file in there which wasn't in Viz 3, therefore as I can get it working with Viz 3 I am presuming it needs re-jigging for 4?? :confused:
Is that correct??

Hi nige777,

I just came accross viz.window.startRecording() for video and viz.window.screenCapture() for capturing to image file or texture.

Another cool thing appears to be viz.VizVideoCapture and viz.VizVideoTexture classes.

Best,
