Hi guys, i’m trying to use etcetera on my Augmented reality app, i need to take a picture of the actual unity3d view (camera+character in AR).
The problem is that the etcetera plug in takes a picture of the camera view but without any unity part (no buttons no ar etc).

Any help?

Thank you.
Ale.

Pressing the home and lock buttons together doesn’t do it?

Hi earl,
yes, it works but i need it to work on a GUI,
I’m using “EtceteraBinding.showMailComposerWithScreenshot( “”, “Game Screenshot”, “I like this game!”, false );”
it does a screenshot without the Augumented reality character but only the view from the iPhone camera.
It create a new email and its fantastic…but the screenshot its useless this way.

Thanks.

Its possible to do so reading the final gl pixels before rendering in the xcode part; I’ve tried to capture the iphone screen and making video of a game this way, but it’s way too slow… - but for single screenshots its okay
