Save PNG files from the Unity editor both in and out of play mode, using either a standalone render panel or camera-attached script.

• Download the package
• Import into Unity
• Open the Tools > Vectorform > Save Game View panel, or attach SaveCameraView to a camera object
• Set the desired settings and click Save PNG

• Capture the game view in the editor without entering play mode
• Can be used as a UI panel or as a script attached to a camera
• Save PNG images with alpha, with two setup requirements:
  • Camera background type must be set to Solid Color using black with 0% alpha
  • Post processing must be disabled or modified to maintain alpha (URP doesn't by default [archive link])
• Use dynamic variables in the file name for automated outputs
  • {scene} = the name of the currently open scene
  • {camera} = the name of the first active camera (SaveGameView) or attached camera (SaveCameraView)
  • {samples} = the selected multi-sampling level
  • {date} = the current date in YYYY-MM-DD format
  • {time} = the current time in HH-MM-SS.F format

• If you get the error "no active camera found in the scene view" even though an active camera exists, make sure it's tagged as "mainCamera" in the Inspector.

Many thanks to the original inspiration Snapscreen by Mufalder, along with code for the directory browse/reveal UI setup.
