Taking hires shots of Material editor to share?

Deathstick · Mar 2015

Hi all,

I was wondering if there was a way to share a high res screenshot of the material editor to show people work/making general tutorial type stuff.

I'd take a regular screenshot but currently the thing is too pixelated to read the names of the nodes zoomed all the way out. My google-fu is apparently weak today.

Thanks!

You can zoom in so nodes names are visible. Take multiple screenshots. And then stitch them together in Photoshop or something. I don't think there's an easy way to take hi-res picture of material editor.

Thanks! I had a feeling that was going to be the situation.

For this purpose in particular you could try temporarily increasing your monitors resolution. It might not look right on your screen but once you have a screenshot you should be able to see more details (since you can expand the material editor window to cover a bigger area).

Yeah you should be able to set your monitor to a higher resolution, either in your Nvidia panel or the AMD version of it.
