Digital Screen Scanner (Colour w/ hitNormal)

[Grocel]

Grocel, I can't get your scanner to work. No matter what I do, I just get a black screen.

I'll try the OP's scanner...

I tried, it works for me, where did you put the e2? The top side of the e2 is the camera, the arrow on the e2 "modern"-skin is the top of the camera. If you put the e2 on a prop it can cause a black screen, if this is the case then you need to put the e2 on the ground and focus it manually.

And don't forgot to setup the "Pixel" (resolution), "XView", "YView" (FOV) and "Distance" inputs.

New code in the OP. Its not optimised or anything so feel free to pick it to bits and tell me what I can change etc

Shadows and light sources? Any new sreenshots?

[N00bDud3]

New screenshots should be added for the new code. I wouldn't care so much if I could get into GMod right now, but I'm about to have to leave my comp for a bit. Post pics ASAP.

Well I grabbed the code from my data files not from ingame since I had to get going soon after sooooo.....I'll put some up in a few hours when I get back to my home computer

[Grocel]

Nice one, will you optimize it?

[Tolyzor]

You could improve the image quality by upping the resolution and giving it anti aliasing, maybe like this.

That light source stuff is awesome! just need soft shadows now...

Oh, and I discovered a sweet way to make a viewfinder; have the camera show 32x32 video on the screen, until you press the shutter button, then convert the screen to a 521x512 still image, using the digi screen hispeed addresses.
