UnrealImageCapture in UE-5.3

[gdaddi]

These are the steps I followed to get a minimal version of this pipeline working.

I rebuilt the Plugin for UE-5.3, but could not get the Plugin to work properly (There were errors in the CameraCaptureManager_BP and I could not place it in the Editors).

Similarly to https://github.com/TimmHess/UnrealImageCapture/issues/35, I ended up porting the source files into a project (MyProject) and building everything in that project. Here are the notes I took along the way:

• Moved from UnrealImageCapture/Plugin_UE5, the files CameraCaptureManager.cpp, CameraCaptureManager.h to MyProject/Source/MyProject/.

• Solve the linking issues by modifying MyProject.Build.cs

  
  public class MyProject : ModuleRules
  {
  public MyProject(ReadOnlyTargetRules Target) : base(Target)
  {
      PCHUsage = PCHUsageMode.UseExplicitOrSharedPCHs;
  
      PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { 
          "Core",
          "InputCore", 
          "ImageWrapper", 
          "RenderCore", 
          "Renderer", 
          "RHI",
          "CoreUObject",
          "Engine",
          "Slate",
          "SlateCore",
      });

}

* You should be able to compile the C++ code now using VSCode's build task.
* Check that things are working by looking for `CameraCaptureManager` in the Editor's content manager under `C++ Classes`.
* Drag and drop `CameraCaptureManager` into the viewport.
* Place a `SceneCapture2D` actor (from the Place Actor Panel)
* Set the `CaptureComponent` of `CameraCaptureManager` to point to the `SceneCapture2D` camera.
* Open the Level's Blueprint and connect a `Capture Non Blocking` function to a `EnhancedInputComponent` that triggers when the desired key-binding is pressed.
* Play the map, and press the selected capture key-binding.

Hey, sorry I am not very active on this anymore (especially with the pull request pending which is quite nice but ya.. there is barely time ':D). The prebuild plugin cannot work on any version different than the one it was compiled for - this is why I dropped it all altogether. Unfortunately, that sentence never made it into the readme as I realize now...

The way you did it is exactly how I intended it to be done. At some point, I tried to the entire thing more stand-alone but the maintenance is just not worth for me atm. Let's say I am happy that the codebase or interface did not change drastically so that this code can still function at all :)

Thanks for checking out the repo, I hope it will help you :high_brightness:

hello @gdaddi. I followed the same steps as you to complete the code migration in 5.3, but I could only capture the color image, and there was only one empty picture when I captured the Mask image.

I solved this problem by saving images in RGBA format, which had some problems displaying images on my computer, and using python to read them was no problem
