I'm using Screenshot code to take a screenshot of the screen which is working fine but its also taking the arcore models with it. Is there a way to take a screenshot before models are rendered?
I tried to SetActive(false)
then take a screenshot then SetActive(true)
, it does work but there's a noticeable difference i.e. model disappears than reappears.
using GoogleARCore;
using OpenCVForUnitySample;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.XR;
[RequireComponent(typeof(Camera))]
public class SnapshotCamera : MonoBehaviour
{
Camera snapCam;
public UnityEngine.UI.Text text;
public RenderTexture mRenderTexture;
int resWidth=480;
int resHeight=800;
// Start is called before the first frame update
public void initialize(ARBackgroundRenderer background, Material material)
{
background = new ARBackgroundRenderer();
snapCam = GetComponent<Camera>();
background.backgroundMaterial = material;
background.camera = snapCam;
background.mode = ARRenderMode.MaterialAsBackground;
if (snapCam.targetTexture == null)
{
snapCam.targetTexture = new RenderTexture(resWidth, resHeight, 24);
}
else
{
snapCam.targetTexture.height = resHeight;
snapCam.targetTexture.width = resWidth;
//resHeight = snapCam.targetTexture.height;
//resWidth = snapCam.targetTexture.width;
}
background.camera.cullingMask = LayerMask.NameToLayer("Default");
//snapCam.CopyFrom(background.camera);
snapCam.gameObject.SetActive(false);
}
public void TakeSnapShot()
{
snapCam.gameObject.SetActive(true);
}
void LateUpdate()
{
if (snapCam.gameObject.activeInHierarchy)
{
snapCam.cullingMask = LayerMask.NameToLayer("Default");
if (ARCoreBackgroundRenderer.screenShot == null)
ARCoreBackgroundRenderer.screenShot = new Texture2D(resWidth, resHeight, TextureFormat.RGB24, false);
snapCam.Render();
RenderTexture.active = snapCam.targetTexture;
ARCoreBackgroundRenderer.screenShot.ReadPixels(new Rect(0, 0, resWidth, resHeight), 0, 0);
ARCoreBackgroundRenderer.screenShot.Apply();
snapCam.gameObject.SetActive(false);
HandPoseRecognition.captureTexture = false;
//string name = string.Format("{0}_Capture{1}_{2}.png", Application.productName, "{0}", System.DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss"));
//UnityEngine.Debug.Log("Permission result: " + NativeGallery.SaveImageToGallery(ARCoreBackgroundRenderer.screenShot, Application.productName + " Captures", name));
}
}
}
Perhaps I was a little ambiguous, what u mentioned in the comment has already been resolved thanks to you but the problem now is.
I'll show you the images:
These are the 2 cameras I have:
This is what my Main (ARCore Camera) shows
You can use layer, put every arcore models in one layer (eg. ARLAYER), then set camera's culling mask to avoid these models.
Pseudo code:
// Set models' layer
foreach (GameObject arcoreModel in arcoreModels)
arcoreModel.layer = ARLAYER;
// Set camera's culling mask
camera.cullingMask = ~(1 << ARLAYER);
camera.Render();
Create screenshot camera from another camera
var go = new GameObject("screenshotcamera");
// Copy transform
go.transform.position = mainCamera.transform.position.
...
// Copy camera
var screenshotcamera= go.AddComopnent<Camera>();
screenshotcamera.CopyFrom(mainCamera);
Update with your script
snapCam = GetComponent<Camera>();
