Making Screenshots at Runtime

This article provides the code sufficient to create a screenshot making component configurable via Editor and making screenshots at runtime.

Component Code#

In your IDE, create a component and insert this code into its header:

Source code (C++)
#pragma once

#include <UnigineComponentSystem.h>
#include <UnigineViewport.h>

class ScreenshotMaker : public Unigine::ComponentBase
{
	enum Format
	{
		tga = 0,
		png,
		jpg
	};

	enum State
	{
		STATE_START = 0,
		STATE_WARMUP,
		STATE_SAVE,
		STATE_DONE,
	};

public:
	COMPONENT_DEFINE(ScreenshotMaker, Unigine::ComponentBase);

	PROP_PARAM(String, name_prefix, "screenshot");
	PROP_PARAM(IVec2, size, Unigine::Math::ivec2(640, 480));
	PROP_PARAM(Switch, format, 0, "tga,png,jpg");
	PROP_PARAM(Toggle, alfa_channel, false);

	COMPONENT_INIT(init);
	COMPONENT_UPDATE(update);

private:
	Unigine::TexturePtr texture;
	Unigine::ViewportPtr viewport;
	int count = 0;

	int state = STATE_DONE;
	const int warmup_frames = 30;
	int warm_up_count = 0;

	void init();
	void update();

};

Insert this code into the .cpp file of the component:

Source code (C++)
#include "ScreenshotMaker.h"
#include <UnigineConsole.h>
#include <UnigineInput.h>
#include <UnigineGame.h>

REGISTER_COMPONENT(ScreenshotMaker);

using namespace Unigine;

void ScreenshotMaker::init()
{
	texture = Texture::create();
	viewport = Viewport::create();
	viewport->setSkipFlags(Viewport::SKIP_VISUALIZER);

	Console::setOnscreen(1);
	Console::onscreenMessageLine(Math::vec4_green, "Screenshot component is initialized.");
}

void ScreenshotMaker::update()
{
	auto player = Game::getPlayer();
	if (!player)
	{
		state = STATE_DONE;
		Console::onscreenMessageLine(Math::vec4_red, "No active camera.");
		return;
	}

	if (state == STATE_DONE && Input::isKeyPressed(Input::KEY_T))
	{
		warm_up_count = 0;
		state = STATE_WARMUP;
		Console::onscreenMessageLine(Math::vec4_green, "Trying to take a screenshot...");
	}

	if (state == STATE_WARMUP)
	{
		viewport->setMode(Render::getViewportMode());

		if (warm_up_count == 0)
		{
			// First frame we render with velocity buffer turned off to avoid temporal effects artifacts
			viewport->appendSkipFlags(Viewport::SKIP_VELOCITY_BUFFER);
			viewport->renderTexture2D(player->getCamera(), texture, size.get().x, size.get().y);
			viewport->removeSkipFlags(Viewport::SKIP_VELOCITY_BUFFER);
		}
		else
		{
			// We temporarily set exposure adaptation time to 0, otherwise the final image may be too dark
			float exposure_adaptation = Render::getExposureAdaptation();
			Render::setExposureAdaptation(0.0f);
			viewport->renderTexture2D(player->getCamera(), texture, size.get().x, size.get().y);
			Render::setExposureAdaptation(exposure_adaptation);
		}

		warm_up_count++;
		if (warm_up_count == warmup_frames)
			state = STATE_SAVE;
	}

	if (state == STATE_SAVE)
	{
		Render::asyncTransferTextureToImage(
			nullptr,
			MakeCallback([this](ImagePtr image)
				{
					if (!alfa_channel.get() || format.get() == Format::jpg)
					{
						if (image->getFormat() == Image::FORMAT_RGBA8)
							image->convertToFormat(Image::FORMAT_RGB8);
						else if (image->getFormat() == Image::FORMAT_RGBA16F)
							image->convertToFormat(Image::FORMAT_RGB16F);
					}

					if (!Render::isFlipped())
						image->flipY();

					auto str_formats = String::split("tga,png,jpg", ",");

					String fullName = String::format("%s_%d.%s", name_prefix.get(), count, str_formats[format.get()]);
					image->save(fullName.get());
					Console::onscreenMessageLine(Math::vec4_green, "%s saved.", fullName.get());

				}),
			texture);

		count++;
		state = STATE_DONE;
	}
}

Add the following into AppSystemLogic to initialize the Component System.

Source code (C++)
int AppSystemLogic::init()
{
	Unigine::ComponentSystem::get()->initialize();
	// Write here code to be called on engine initialization.
	return 1;
}

Then run your application to have the component registered in the Component System.

Making Screenshots#

Now you have a component in your project. To be able to make screenshots, you need to do the following:

  1. Assign the ScreenshotMaker component to any node in the Editor (or create a Node Dummy and assign the component to it).

    Component assigned as a property in the Editor

  2. Adjust settings as necessary.

    Name Prefix The prefix used in the file name.
    Size Width and height of the saved screenshot image.
    Format Format of the saved screenshot image.
    Alpha Channel If enabled, transparent areas are cut off.
  3. Run your app and take screenshots.
  4. Check the data/ folder of your project.
