Getting base64 of element and it's children?

[Yohami_Zerpa]

I’d like to get the base64 of an element on the UI including it’s children, texts, images etc. Is it possible?

For example I’d have an element with the background, and as childs I’d have a picture of the user and their name that I’d change dynamically, and the goal is to save that composition as a base64 for download and sharing

Hi @Yohami_Zerpa,

Yes, it’s possible, you will need to use a 2nd camera to render part of your layers composition.

Take a look at the following post, @yaustar provides there an example project on how to do that:

[SOLVED] Screenshot with a camera and not the canvas

Hey, Is it possible to take screenshots from a camera and not from the canvas. In your playcanvas tutorials, you use the canvas to make the screenshot. We want to take screenshots from another camera that is not the main camera, is that possible? so that a camera would just that screenshots in the background and not be the rendered camera on the canvas. and can the screenshots be 4k?
