Question by unity_AKFX_BYPqggzNg · Nov 13, 2019 at 11:37 AM · android unity 5 rendering background

Is it possible to render in Unity without the editor/scene/player being visible?

In my Android-Unity app I have some data such as text, text size, text coordinates etc that I have to use to create the result and store a screenshot of the same which I will later use in my app.

But I need to make this happen when the user isn't seeing the Unity player/scene. So my question is that is it possible to render the contents and then take a screenshot of the same without the user seeing the Unity editor/player/scene whatever one may call it? Is there a way to do it in the background? Thanks!

Hi, you can use a Camera that renders into a RenderTexture ins$$anonymous$$d of rendering to the "Screen". It is then possible to get all pixels from this texture and save it as a png. If you want to render UI too you might have to use a Canvas that uses a Render $$anonymous$$ode = ScreenSpace-Camera (not sure about this potential problem, but try it if you don't see the UI :-)
