Creating your first captures

You can create captures in the Unity Forma interface (from the Game view in Play mode) or in a Render Studio application that you export from Unity Forma. For each capture, you can specify the aspect ratio and resolution that you want to use.

If you set up Camera views in Unity Form that you want to use for a capture, you can create captures that way also.

By default, the system saves each captures to a location on your local drive.

You can find all your captures in the Gallery tab.

Create a capture

To create a capture with Render Studio, follow these steps:

1. In the Game view, select Play.
   The system opens your Product in a simplified mode without Forma tools for editing your configurator.
2. Use the mouse to navigate the scene:
   
   • Pan with the right mouse button
   • Rotate with the left mouse button.
   • Use the mouse wheel to move toward or away from the product.
3. When the view is correct, select the Capture button to create an image.
   
   The system shows a preview of the image with a path to the directory where the image is saved.
4. (Optional) To open the directory where the capture is saved, select the preview thumbnail (after a few seconds, the preview disappears).
   <img src=images/renderStudio-revealFileLocation.png alt="Show file location" width="500">
5. (Optional) To see a list of all shots that you have taken, select the Gallery button.

Create a capture from an existing Forma Camera view

To create a capture from a view that you already set up in Forma, select the Camera button and then select the view you want to use for the Render Studio capture.

Deleting captures

To delete a capture, select the capture and press the Delete key on your keyboard.

IMPORTANT: You cannot restore deleted captures. When you delete a capture, it is deleted from the file directory and the list of captures in the Gallery.

Changing the aspect ratio for a capture

If you want to capture a detailed visual of a specific part of your Product, you can change the aspect ratio.

By default, you can select from these aspect ratios:

• 16:9
• 4:3
• 1:1
• 3:4
• 9:16

To change the Aspect ratio, follow these steps:

1. In the Gallery window, select the capture you want to use.
2. To choose a new aspect ratio, select the Aspect Ratio button, and click through to select the ratio you want to use.
   

Changing the resolution of the capture

To support users on different hardware and software platforms, you can create the same capture with different resolutions.

To change the resolution of your capture, select the Resolution button and then select the resolution you want (2K, 4K, 8K).

IMPORTANT: Make sure that you select the HDRP Quality level in Project settings and in the Profile that you use to export your Render Studio application.
