Hi,

You can use "Application.CaptureScreenshot" to capture Image in Unity. you can refer the below link for reference. http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Application.CaptureScreenshot.html

 public static string screenshotFilename = "screenshotName.png";
 
 void Start() {
     Application.CaptureScreenshot( screenshotName );
 }
 
 //use this to  find the Path of the Image
 
 var pathToImage = Application.persistentDataPath + "/" + screenshotName;

Try this out and post the result here.

Thanks

Hi, Here you go with my problem exactly 1. I am capturing screen shot by Application.CaptureScreenshot("path"+screenshot1.png); 2. Now need to fetch captured screen shot instantly & i am doing this by curSnap = Resources.Load("screenshot1"); I am getting null in curSnap if I access that screenshot instant but I am able to fetch once I close the engine & restart it.

$$anonymous$$y requirement is to get that captured snap as soon as I save in hard disk.

I am just bit to acheive that. Pls help me out Thanks

To load an image back in use the WWW class. If you are trying to speed up that process, just don't yield. It's a bit ugly but:

         Application.CaptureScreenshot ("e:/foo.png");
         WWW www = new WWW("file://e:/foo.png"); 
         while (!www.isDone)
             ;
         www.LoadImageIntoTexture((Texture2D)renderer.material.mainTexture);

You can save the image anywhere you have permission. If your target platform is controlled in some way, do as @Unity_gamer suggests and use persistentDataPath.
