Loving the new engine... but where is...

I just started working with cryengine 3, and it is pretty fucking sweet. However, I can not find the screen capture function. I'm guess there is a feature much like in UDK.

Please help.

There´s various ways to do screenshots, you can find info for it here:

However, when using a bigger resoltuion than your screen resolution the postprocessing effects will not work in the current build. I recommend using fraps and just setting the editor resolution to your desired resolution using the button on the upper right of the viewport.

Thanks, I think I will get fraps.

it's a bit obvious, but if you are just looking for a snapshot, how about taking a screen grab?

ALT + Print Screen together... then CTRL + V to paste it into any app like photoshop

There is now a native way to capture screenshots and video inside CryENGINE, including in-editor, or gameplay or cutscenes. The renders look great!

r_CustomResHeight=1080
r_CustomResWidth=1920
capture_file_format bmp
capture_frames 1
capture_frames 0

Upscales it in the viewport and therefore preserves any post effects (I know there were issues with e_screenshot 1 for a while, not sure if there's a better way), and saves the frames out to a folder in your root CE directory.
