You need to use RenderTexture (pro only) to do that. create a script and apply it to camera and copy the code to a IEnemurator function in that script.

         RenderTexture.active = camera.targetTexture;
         Texture2D texFront = new Texture2D(camera.targetTexture.width,camera.targetTexture.height,TextureFormat.RGB24,false );
         texFront.ReadPixels(new Rect(0,0,512,512), 0, 0);
         texFront.Apply();
         
         yield return null;
         Manager._instance.side = -1;
         _shirtHandler.LoadPattern();
         
         
         yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
         
         camera.Render();
         
         RenderTexture.active = camera.targetTexture;
         Texture2D texBack = new Texture2D(camera.targetTexture.width,camera.targetTexture.height,TextureFormat.RGB24,false );
 
         texBack.ReadPixels(new Rect(0,0,512,512), 0, 0);
         texBack.Apply();


you can create a rendertexture at run time or create one and apply it earlier to the camera.... Note that you have to replace the value 512 in my code with what ever height and width you screenshot has.

you don't need RenderTexture to use ReadPixels to screenshot... I guess also what I meant was if it's possible to have capturescreenshot generate the png and then something in-game can us the corresponding Texture2D
