I am trying to take screenshot with mask enabled option. There is green Background which is not necessary for me. But the view is from camera
Here I am trying it from viewport and the output is transparent. But the view is not from camera
How can i get camera view screenshot with opacity as background by using HIResScreenshot Node?

Yes it is taking whole screenshot of camera view. But i want to isolate everything except those 3 actors. And the background should be transparent
Did you try turning off mask enabled?
Or
So, select those 3, and under details, check ‘render custom depth pass’. When you take the shot, the output has a transparent background with those 3 on it.

Please have a look into my project blueprint

I just did it with a BP at runtime, that also works.
( i am taking a look… )
I can’t open it.
It works in 4.26.2 with this:
What camera are you passing?

I am using 4.26.1 . Please check this project [link text][1]
I found the issue. But i am not able to solve it
If i keep the file name I am getting only green background png
If i remove file name i am getting one png and one green bg
But i am trying screenshot to be stored in a location with the name i suggested in runtime
Have you tried specifying a name longer than 4 characters? ( I know it sounds a bit mad, but I have seen this elsewhere in the engine ).

Yes and also if i windows build the project the screenshot is not capturing or i am not able to see where it is saving
Yes, tried various combinations, and it only works without file name. Nice…
It will be in the user hierarchy after packaging, I’m just taking a look.
Meh, it won’t package for some reason. But the output will be somewhere under:
C:\Users\AppData\Local\ProjectName…

No it is not there in C:
If i set path in project settings screenshots output is coming into the path i mentioned. But if i build that project as it I am not able to see the output where it is saving
I can’t build in 4.26 at all at the moment, will take a look when I sort that out…
Ok, wow, packaging working again…
Yeah… getting nowhere fast here.
If I package for distribution, it just crashes when I take the shot.
