Yes, it is possible. I use fraps: heres the link.

Very nice software. Start fraps, load the game, and press F10 for a screen.

Thanks for the tips; however I am not doing models yet, only skins. But I might get to that eventually. Its good to know I can ask someone if I have any questions, so thanks. And those are some good pictures, by the way. Thanks for the links.
I am currently re-skinning the USAR to look like the Res5cue truck, let you know when that's done.

Yes, I do use paint. Most people use photoshop, etc. But I think paint is easier when it comes to skinning. I only use photoshop for the details.

Yes just close that out. The picture should be wherever you installed fraps i.e. C:\Fraps

How exactly do you mean? I use Photoshop CS2 to edit them. Just upload them to the forum.

[jab16]

Ok I see. Use DDS Converter to change the BMPs into JPEGs then upload. The pics should be in C:\Fraps

At the bottom left of the text box (outside the text box) there are 2 buttons, one says browse the other says upload. The upload button is green. Hit "browse" and select the JPEG picture (make sure not the BMP, that wont work) Then hit "Upload". Once it has uploaded, right above the upload button there is a box that says Manage Current Attachments. Click that, it will come down, and then hit the little paper button with the green plus sign that adds the attachment. That should work.

Im impressed. Your first models turned out really well. I wish I could show you my first one, looked like a 3-year old did it. Keep up the good work!

are you also gonna make something like aways traffic stuck?

It might be possible, but mostly unlikely. The game's flow of traffic is difficult to modify due to bugs and glitches. I will, however, change the map up a little to look more like NYC.
