Screenshots with Alpha, transparent background.
« on: December 05, 2013, 05:14:30 PM »
I'm wanting to capture screenshots of game assets with an alpha background to use as thumbnails in game, I know this is possible, I'm just not sure how to code it beings I'm a 3D artist 8P

Also, is there a way to crop the image to outermost colored pixels, making the image as small as possible?  <-- This I don't know is possible, fun challenge though!  XD  Not needed, but bonus points!

Edit:
Found this, might help?

This action would make me a happy little indie dev!!
Thanks in advance!  Cookies+2, Internet Points+4!

Hi,

 I would recommend you get in touch with that guy, and ask him kindly if he can wrapp it into a proper simple behavior. then get back to me, and I'll work something out, if he's not willing to do it.

bye,
