Usage: | |
1. Attach this script to your chosen camera's game object. | |
2. Set that camera's Clear Flags field to Solid Color. | |
3. Use the inspector to set frameRate and framesToCapture | |
4. Choose your desired resolution in Unity's Game window (must be less than or equal to your screen resolution) | |
5. Turn on "Maximise on Play" | |
6. Play your scene. Screenshots will be saved to YourUnityProject/Screenshots by default. | |
