"Copy Image to Windows Clipboard" ?

Mole · 18th January 2009, 04:19 PM

Hi,
I was hoping that AC3D would provide me with easily manipulatable shapes I could copy and paste into Photoshop and Illustrator.

The manual says to use the "Copy Image to Windows Clipboard" as there is no support to export to .png or .jpg. However, all I get is the background.

Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong section, but I need to know If I've done something wrong, or I need to consider an alternative AC3D.

Copy to clipboard should copy an image of whatever is visible in the viewport. Maybe there's something wrong with your video drivers \ OpenGL?

Also, you could try using the render button to render out an image. You'll need a renderer installed, i.e. POVRay or the like.
