no problem guys miauu: tnx, i'm going to try the pastebitmap method and if it works then i'll do a check in my script and use that one if the version is 2010 and later. i don't know why i disabled the height actually , the first script was a quick trow together of maxscript help scripts that i adjusted to enable bigger…
The script that grab the active viewport and include an alpha channel was requested in cgtalk forum. So, this is my attempt. Note that the script is not very fast. Test it and if you like it - use it. :) Download from scriptspot
1 - I will add Setup button tomorow. Or may be is a good idea to force the script to set the image save settings to be 32 bit. 2 - feel free to change that. :) 3 - i can't use xoliul shader. My PC is too old. this would be super useful to include animation saving to an image sequence if you have time also. This will kill…

There seems to be a way in dotNet to store a PNG file (as binary dump) in the bitmap clipboard manager of windows and photoshop should be able to paste it as a transparent bitmap but I haven't found a sample source code for it…
yeah man variable size would be great :D ohhh i guess I'm late, I'll try out the new one :) I've never taken a look at the code but this grabViewport does it that way I noticed a couple things i didn't expect in my quick playing with it.* the alpha is only saved if you properly set the image save settings to be 32 bit and…
Ravenslayer, no problem. Use whatever you want or need. :) I have one suggestion - why the height spinner is disabled? If I want to grab the screenshot with height of (for example) 1000px I have to calculate the height/width ratio and then put the xxxx.xxxx value in width spinner. Can you release the script with "active"…
