Screen Capture in Unity

Question

Hi,

In Unity, I'm trying to find a way to capture the entire contents of the screen (iOS and Android) when the AR Marker has been detected and my 3D model is being shown. I have tried a number of different techniques but the best result I've had so far is a screenshot of the UI layer only and not of the camera preview with rendered 3D model.

How can I achieve this? Is the PRO version required? I have seen that the PRO version has functionality for recording video of the screen but does it also have the ability to take a screenshot of everything on the screen at a particular time (and then save that to the device camera roll)?

Thanks.

For video recording, I think yes, the PRO version is required but I was just wanting a still image and I was able to work out how to do this.

You need to create a RenderTexture, set this to the camera's target texture and then call camera.Render(). Then create a Texture2D, call ReadPixels followed by Apply.

If you then want and image file for the screenshot, call EncodeToPNG() on the Texture2D object and save the file to your device.
