Unity3D 360 VR screenshot and video script

Original project https://github.com/continue88/VRCapture - all the credit and thanks to the original author! 🙏

Introduction

Capture VR screenshots as well as frames for VR video in Unity. (360 captures from 2 eyes)

Instructions：

1. Add the StereoCapture prefab as a child to the camera that is acting as the left eye
2. Make sure the output path exists, or set it to whatever you would like
3. If you want screenshots to start right away, check Capture Start
4. Start the game in the editor - when Capture Start is checked, screenshots will be written to the output path (this will be slow since they will be 2048x2048 each)
5. To make a video, use ffmpeg to combine the screenshots: ffmpeg.exe -framerate 60 -i Captures/frame_%%5d.jpg -c:v libx264 -profile:v high -level 4.2 -r 60 -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 18 -preset slower MyMovie_360_TB.mp4 (windows example, I will add a OSX one as well)
6. The video should be playable on VR devices, still to test YouTube

Editor single screenshot

1. You can click-click on the Stereo Capture (Script) header and there will be a Capture option
2. A single screenshot will be written to the output folder

Notes：

1. This process is quite slow especially if you are capturing at 60fps
2. Post-processing can be controlled via the EnableEffects property: Example: ColorCorrectionCurves;ToneMapping;Bloom
3. This script only writes out frames - ffmpeg is required to join them for a video. Audio is currently not recorded.
