The C-66 Graphics Plugin is a dead link.
Would love a no-brainer billboard making tool. Does this one accomplish that? Can anyone explain how this works?
Thanks.

This has been reported to Daz, at least twice since I didn't see that the PA had doen before sending my report in.
Thanks! Seems like it's been fixed already!

Yes, it does. Once you have the plug-in installed you just launch Billboard Builder. It will ask you to chose an image. It has to be in square format, but that is easy to achieve-you either render that way or adjust canvas size in any image editing program. Technically, you could use any transparent png image, not just renders. Then you chose the output folder and click "Create Billboard." That's it. Works great.
Just want to add, and maybe this has been mentionned elsewhere in the forums, but a great use of the billboard maker is with lighting. For example, if you have a darkish scene or area in your scene and you can't make a figure in the dark brighter without messing up the shadowy environment with the extra lighting, you can save just the figure into a new scene, light it the way you want, make a billboard of it, and then place the brighter billboard back in your original dark scene.
had billboard builder (and ofc the C-66 plugin) on my wishlist for a while. now this xmas i've been splurging all along to keep my rewards at 30%, and today i've finally got both those products in my cart. yay! for reasons like HD space and other stuff, the now-crowds are not really an option. also i prefer my own characters, so this is a game changer for me, with my crappy lame laptop, i always have to cut so much outta my scenes...
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY BOTH STILL WORK WITH THE / AN ACTUAL DS VERSION, AND WILL FOR A WHILE. - i keep 4.11 (for some old scripts) but use 4.22 beta mostly.
because today i'm really down to my last last $$ on my "3D/hobby/games" card, and won't be liquid for a while after that. and while getting both those products for 10$ today is a mindboggling awesome bargain anyway, i'd be very disappointed if i couldn't run them now for some reason, and had bought them instead of a new figure or sth that would work for sure immediately....
EDIT: never mind, i bought them both. not gonna risk falling asleep and miss them
