Looking for C3/DS agent for camera!

Hello, everybody! I'm looking for an agent I caught a glimpse of once and haven't been able to find it since.

It's an agent for C3/DS and it assists with closeup shots of the creatures themselves. A really interesting zoom feature. No idea how well it worked, but I wanted to give it a shot since I plan to take pictures of my creatures for a mini-project I have going.

If anyone knows where I can find that, I'd be incredibly grateful. Thank you!!

Taking a screenshot gives you as much pixel density as you can get, if it zooms in it uses a scaling algorithm, but you would get better results using photoshop to scale it, especially if you have a plugin for super XBR or the like. In short any zoom in feature in engine would do is make the quality lesser.

Fair enough! I was just curious to try it out, but that definitely makes sense. I've been using puush to take pictures currently, is there anything else you'd suggest instead? Or is that okay?

I've never used puush, but I can't see it really mattering, the program is just copying the frame buffer to a file, so the image quality would be the same regardless of the program used, unless it's storing the image as a lossy format like jpeg instead of a lossless one like png.

I personally use the Print screen button to take my screenshots. However what people often miss is that once you press it, nothing seems to happen...Or does it? The part people often miss is that once you press the button, the screenshot is saved to the clipboard (Temporary space where copied text/images/etc lives) where you can then paste into your favourite image editing software with the paste button or Ctrl + V.

I like using ScreenHunter ( http://www.wisdom-soft.com/products/screenhunter.htm ). I don't know enough about Puush, but I think ScreenHunter may be a bit lighter as it doesn't have the upload thing going on.

While active, you'll use a fast command and the program will generate an image. You can set the fast command and what type of file the picture will save as.

I enjoy the basic & built-in way that Doringo suggested, but ScreenHunter is good if you want to take a lot of screens in succession or don't want to be interupted. Very useful while gaming, for example.
