I want to render

[hose62]

I want to save the preview screen of the camera.
I want to save it in png or PSD format.

How can I do it?

Hello,

I found this :

How to save manually save a PNG of a camera view

Someone may find this useful. I looked for something similar and ran into all kinds of problems, so thought I would share my eventual solution. If you attach this script to any camera that has a valid target texture in its settings, it will save a PNG of that snapshot to your hard drive (note the folder name in my path) ... which you can later use for whatever purpose. I have this script attached to a camera that only renders the game background, and I use the images later to create randomized…

maybe useful ?

Kind regards

Thank you for your reply!

Made in C #.
However, pressing F9 does not save it.

How can I solve it?

Hi, not sure I understand the purpose of the script you attached.
From my point of view, you can create a c# file SR_RenderCamera.cs. copy/paste the code :

using System.IO;
using UnityEngine;
public class SR_RenderCamera : MonoBehaviour {
    public int FileCounter = 0;
    private void LateUpdate()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.F9))
        {
            CamCapture();
        }
    }
    void CamCapture()
    {
        Camera Cam = GetComponent<Camera>();
        RenderTexture currentRT = RenderTexture.active;
        RenderTexture.active = Cam.targetTexture;
        Cam.Render();
        Texture2D Image = new Texture2D(Cam.targetTexture.width, Cam.targetTexture.height);
        Image.ReadPixels(new Rect(0, 0, Cam.targetTexture.width, Cam.targetTexture.height), 0, 0);
        Image.Apply();
        RenderTexture.active = currentRT;
        var Bytes = Image.EncodeToPNG();
        Destroy(Image);
        debug.Log("Will write under: " + Application.dataPath + "/Backgrounds/");
        File.WriteAllBytes(Application.dataPath + "/Backgrounds/" + FileCounter + ".png", Bytes);
        FileCounter++;
    }
 
}

Attach it to you camera gameObject, this should do the trick.
I added a debug.Log to show where the files will be written, I think you should ensure this folder exists (and eventually create it if it’s not the case)

Thank you for your reply!

I dragged and dropped the script onto the camera.

However, [Can`t add script] was displayed.

Seems you called your script camera. I suggest you have the same filename as the classname: SR_RenderCamera in our case. I’m afraid your screenshots doesn’t help a lot to investigate. Maybe show the console to check if you have any compilation errors. Scripts with compilations error cannot be attached indeed.

Edit: You have the warning on the filename not matching classname in your screenshot in fact

Thank you for your reply!

I understood that the name [camera] was out.

I changed the name to [photograph].

But,
I get the same error.

[SR_RenderCamera]
Reclassified and script names.
But I get the same error.
