How do I get a texture2D snapshot from a single rendered GameObject/SpriteRender/MeshRender in a scene?

Hi,

I was trying to convert a rendered object to particles, by getting a 2d texture of the rendered object. So, for example, I can make a Sprite dissolve in the wind when an enemy dies.

Anyway, I really have no idea on how to do this. Is it even possible to render a single object isolating it in the scene, and print it on a 2D texture?

Any help is appreciated, even pointing me to the right direction.

I'd like to code it in C#, and I can't use any ready-to-use Asset Store 3D to 2D sprite converter.

Could you please suggest me the classes, methods, pieces of code, samples, on how to achieve this result?

Thanks for your time :)
