[AddOn] PhotoShoot

Hiya folks.

I've been toying around with the 3D model views and thought I'd release a little add-on as an example of using these things.

As a bit of a bonus -- as I wanted this thing to do something somewhat useful --, it quickly saves screenshots of the views and may even be useful to Adami/Ephe for her drawings (check with her first though). See this thread: http://forum.us.runesofmagic.com/showthread.php?t=59306.

Use /pshoot to see the main help
Use /psbg to see help on setting the background color

Anyway, here's the comment header from the Lua file:

PhotoShoot

A simple add-on to help create the screenshots needed for drawing RoM
characters.

Basically creates special 3D model views of your current target/self/whatever
and then saves screenshots of them.

This was done mostly for the hell of it, but the idea came from perusing
Adami/Ephe's thread "Scribbles of a crazy priest".

Known Oddities:
- The lighting used in the photo shoot is taken from the environment.
This then can make some of the shots look a little off color-wise. To
attempt to alleviate this, the background color can be set so at least
you can still see things.
- The add-on removes the weapon(s) from the full body views. This can look
a little odd for some NPCs.
- The photo shoot views are animated and so sometimes the character may be
in mid blink when the shot is taken.
- The add-on was designed primarily as a means of taking pictures of players
and humanoid NPCs. Some creatures and other NPCs may not properly fit into
the model view frames used.
- Yes I know, the so-called purple background is really magenta. Shut up!

And here's the add-on itself:

Love it Peryl!
Here are some examples for any one wondering (ignore the small dotted lines, that is an artifact from my video card, BMP format and how ever rom is compressing or saving the images)

I 100% approve of this for my art thread.
first tow are links so I don't clog the thread.
