Is it possible to print Unity scenes?

Is there any built-in functionality or some external asset that supports the printing of scenes within a Unity game/app?

Does it extend beyond just simply dumping the screen? Preferably I'd want support for pagination etc.

 

Scenes are just text files. You can open them up and print with your favourite text editor.

If you instead mean you want to take save renders of the screen for printing, the no. A default tool doesn't even make sense, what angle and camera positions should it render from?

The good news is it's trivially easy to write something like this.

 

Thanks for the info.

No, I’m not interested in printing text files but actual images of the scenes in my app.

I’m encouraged that you say that writing something which meets my requirements is trivial but could you also give me a few pointers on just how I would implement such a feature?

As you may have guessed, I’m a Unity n00b

 

Option 1: play your game, find a spot you want printed, press the PrintScreen button on your keyboard(google for modifiers for "only one display" or "only the active window" and paste into ms paint

Option 2: Your scene might have gotten modeled in a modeling program, open the scene up, set your camera where you want it, and render it

 

Unity has a function for taking screenshots, see ScreenCapture.CaptureScreenshotAsTexture.
So to get images for all scenes you'd need to open each scene, call this function and then add it into your assets (link).

 

You can write a simple script to do that. I do print screen a lots. I share mine for you.
Fill in output file name and current scene resolution multiplier amount and hit play.
Press space bar to snapshot. You can change to any keys as you like.
The output images file name suffix will be +1 every time you shoot.

Code (CSharp):

1. public class Screenshot : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     public string fileName = string.Empty;
4.     public int superSize = 1;
5.     int number = 1;
6.  
7.     void Update()
8.     {
9.         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
10.         {
11.             ScreenCapture.CaptureScreenshot (fileName+"_"+number+".png", superSize);
12.             number++;
13.         }
14.     }
15. }

 

Thanks to everyone who replied. I think I can achieve what I need with the helpful info provided
