How to disable 3D ?

Hi,

I've dumped textures from VF3, but stages backgrounds are missing.
So, is there a way to disable all 3D elements in order to easily screenshot backgrounds ?

Thx

There is no such feature at the moment. Wouldn't be hard to add code to render out the layers, though. Can you write C++?

Another way to do this would be to comment out the lines where the 3D renderer gets invoked to actually draw each frame. You'll find the code here and it should be pretty easy to figure out which line to comment out. You will need to build Supermodel yourself to do this.

Thank you for these tips but this goes well beyond my skills :(
I only understand that I must put "//" before some lines :lol:

That’s right! Just do that on GPU render line and compile. The instructions on the main page under “Help” should still work if followed precisely.

I looked into the code, it's too complicated for me, I don't know at all which lines to deactivate.

I think I'll try to capture backgrounds during gameplay, it will time consuming but I can do this.
