I’m trying to make a camera mechanic, that lets the player take, and save pictures. I’m using Scene Capture, for the camera, and I was wondering if there was a way to save a frame, from the render target, connected to the scene capture, as a image/texture, to the save file? Many thanks in advance! ---

Does it have an option to save it, to a SaveGame slot? ---

Savegame format doesnt save data such as a bitmap or a sound sample. It saves references (pointers) and simple data (arrays/structs/values) ---
