can some one give me detailed instructions on how to take pictures with sapian flying camera
I cant figure out how to make it take a picture and where will it store it when i do

You ShadeSlayer, baffle me.

You take pictures with a recording/screenshot software of course

well then what is the flying camera for in sapian

Isn't the Sapien camera always in third person?

yeah it is but thanks for telling me about the screenshot software. I just went and downloaded a screen recorder and got the picture i needed buy converting the video it captured to jpg with a video to jpg converter. again thanks for your help :-)

PrtSc key on your keyboard...

WTH IS SAPIAN?????

He meant sapion [/sarcasm]

It's Sapien.

C'mon people, I'm a horrible speller.

And to take a screenshot, just maximize the game window, press "Print Screen" on your keyboard, then go into mspaint>edit>paist. Viola.
You shouldn't need any fancy programs.

Paint is fancy...

To open up paint, open the start menu, and type in paint. If you are using XP, then you have to go through the process of Start Menu>Programs>Accessories>Paint. If you're using Mac... no paint.

GET FRAPS

Fraps is perhaps /the/ worst video recorder on Earth. If I wanted some fancy screenshot program, I'd just use XFire. Otherwise, I'll settle for good ol' fashioned "Prt Scr" (Print Screen).

As for video recording? I'd get HyperCam before I used Fraps... But I'll stick with Camtasia Studio, since it's actually good quality, unlike the former mentions.

FRAPS is very good, i don't need some fancy hypercam to encode the video's for you, that's for the lazy people, and xfire doesn't do the job that well at all, and doesn't work on sapien

Sapien in latin means Wise, I'll stick with a hobo though, i like the line MS = g@y in the bottem corner lol (latin class isn't optional, so i didn't chose it because i wanted to lol)

FRAPS + Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum + Photoshop 11 CS 4 = Win @ Video's

Hypercam is awful quality too, but I've bad more issues with Fraps being terrible framerate. At most, you can get 30 FPS recording... And, XFire doesn't work on Sapien? XFire works on everything. You can get screenshots of your desktop, or even Internet Explorer, with XFire. Unless somehow you run Sapien full-screen, it'll work, last I checked. I've never had a problem with it.

Regardless, Camtasia Studio 5 is still the best quality recorder there is for Windows. And, Vegas Movie Studio? No thanks. I think I'll have the full version, which is simply "Sony Vegas". I don't want a chopped down version... But, Photoshop CS4 is good. I still have CS2, but eventually I'll upgrade... I don't need CS4 for videos though, it's a /photo/ program.

... Though I think Adobe needs to beat out Sony, and make "Videoshop", because they could /easily/ make Vegas look as terrible as MSPaint in comparison.

I named CS4 because I usually make some annotations in them since that can do more than any video editor could.

And, Vegas Movie Studio? No thanks. I think I'll have the full version, which is simply "Sony Vegas".

Wut? What I mentioned IS the full version, and I'm working on it smoothly for a long time already

Fraps does lower your fps a bit, i can't dissagree, but then again, who wants to make vids on crappy computers? I'm running a Geforce 8800 GT OC'd and I record at 45 fps average in Crysis Warhead =)

If Adobe makes a videoshop, I'll crap my pants =O

And how would Xfire work out of a game? I mean, only time i'm able to do stuff with xfire, wich i totally don't need to with this expensive software, is when i'm running a full screen game that is indexed by xfire, otherwise i can't use it at all


So, opinions may differ, but my PREFERENCES are
FRAPS for the recording to RAW footage + Photoshop 11 CS 4 for nice annotations and titles and so forth + Sony Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum as I havn't heard of any better program yet wich has more features, except Adobe Videoshop, lawl

Watch, it shows how stupid hypercam is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvH2UbAS8Y8

I stopped watching after the first 3 seconds,
IT SAYS FRAPS TRIAL *facepalms for y00

No. Look it up.

There are two versions; Sony Vegas, and Vegas Movie Studio.

Two quotes, one from Sony Vegas' wikipedia page, another from Sony Vegas Movie Studio's wikipedia:





But otherwise, yes; opinions will differ from person to person.

I'll settle with Vegas 7, Photoshop CS2, and Camtasia Studio 5.

It's actually kinda funny, since Camtasia 7 (Correction; 6. 7 is still in production.) is the most recent, Vegas 9 (correction; only Vegas Movie Studio 9 exists; Vegas is only at 8.0c) is the most recent, and CS4 is the most recent. I'm /always/ two steps behind. I have FL Studio 6, when 8 is out; 3DS Max 9, when Max 2009 (11) is out; even Nero 7 when 9 is out... Oh well.

Wasn't 3dsmax 2010 released just yet? I think DEE had a topic about it...

Yea I know what you mean, just get used to one, then another comes out

I didn't knew Vegas 8.0c was better... thanks for the info, i bet you can guess what i'm doing right now =P

Nope. 2010 is in production. '09 was just released in April of '08. So, you can assume that means '10 won't be out until spring time.

It was obviously sarcasm. Also, I agree, fraps would be a good choice. If you had fraps. Even the unregistered version has a good screenshot feature.

yes, it does and it is very effective, also when i said that ppl should learn the name, i meant, that he doesnt even know the name of sapien, and he is trying to do this, shouldnt he learn the name first then anything else....
