The Idea
Malbers released his awesome Realistic Wolves and I wanted to capture their details with close up screenshots of those beautiful furry models and give focus to them.
So one of the primary goals is to allow publishers to create awesome screenshots for the advertising of their assets.
Requirements & Limitations
The functionality depends on the Time class of Unity and what it provides for pausing a game. It works with Unity’s own feature set and what setting the game time to 0 or a variable value implies.
Photo Session works in all render pipelines. However the output image very much depends on the state of the respective Unity and render pipeline versions.
