ScreenCapture.CaptureScreenshotAsTexture

Parameters

Description

Captures a screenshot of the game view into a Texture2D object.

When superSize parameter is larger than 1, a larger resolution screenshot will be produced. For example, passing 4 will make the screenshot be 4x4 larger than it normally would. This is useful to produce screenshots for printing.

To get a reliable output from this method you must make sure it is called once the frame rendering has ended, and not during the rendering process. A simple way of ensuring this is to call it from a coroutine that yields on WaitForEndOfFrame. If you call this method during the rendering process you will get unpredictable and undefined results.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ScreenShotter : MonoBehaviour
{
    IEnumerator RecordFrame()
    {
        yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
        var texture = ScreenCapture.CaptureScreenshotAsTexture();
        // do something with texture

        // cleanup
        Object.Destroy(texture);
    }

    public void LateUpdate()
    {
        StartCoroutine(RecordFrame());
    }
}
