Unity Recorder Transparent Background Tutorial

In this video I show how to export a transparent background GIF or a video of your gameplay using Unity Recorder. This solution is a 2 step process, and in this tutorial I explain how to get the job done with the help of Photoshop, and with another GIF-making tool. 🎬😉
Hope you'll find it useful! 👍

    Does anyone know why this doesn't work with volumetric line laser meshes? Only the core line comes out in the recording, at least if Alpha is checked (and if it isn't, there's a background, which of course defeats the purpose...). None of the alpha glow gets recorded.

    Hi, love the work. I am going into my second year of IT Programming in college and then I will pursue indie development as well (well, computer will be built in 2 days so I'm basically starting now). I was wondering, when it comes to unity, what are some things you program/don't program? Like movement, shooting, etc.

  • @ThinkCitric

    First of all - best of luck! :) Well, Unity covers a lot of things: in-game physics, collision detection, user input, etc. Unity even offers some game kits that you can use to build games without coding. Brackeys has a tutorial on that, and that can be a really good start. However, if you really want to make custom authentic stuff, you should definitely learn how to code. There are plenty tutorials on that, and that is easier than it sounds. :) Just take one tutorial at a time - and soon enough you'll be able to create something fun! Again, best of luck to you! :)

    Think Citric thanks a lot ! I’m becoming pretty good at programming, especially after understanding things like pointers and what not. I think I’ll focus a little more on some math and go as pure as I can without re inventing the wheel. Thanks for your time, you’ve got a new sub as well. Looking forward to seeing your progression

    This is so close to being exactly what I needed! But my goal is to capture Unity particle systems to get some cool VFX into sprite animations for a different engine. However, the recorder only records them if the skybox background is turned on, which means the images are of course not transparent anymore. Is it simply not possible to record particle systems with transparent background with this recorder? Or is there some trick I'm missing?

    I got it working by using a different shader for the particles (and the camera's clear flags to depth only). The "default-particle" shader wouldn't render out for me.

    In addition to what@@LevityMire​said, I got it working with Solid Color with alpha = 0 (rather than Depth Only).

    Hey thanks for these helpful videos! Question: Do you know if there's a way to display the in-game Mouse cursor while recording?

  • @ThinkCitric

    @ThinkCitric

    4 жыл бұрын

    Yes, there is a way. You need to make the in-game cursor a software cursor. Here: docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Cursor.html Unity suggested on their forum that this should work: Cursor.SetCursor(, , CursorMode.ForceSoftware)

    No dude , Unity just disabled the clearflags and left it like that destroying a dozen functionality including this one . I myself keep trying to figure out another way to do this . It seems like they left being a development platform and turned into a mouse trap for the people trying to learn game development. They are just trying to leave you no choice but to buy stupid assets that will not support the next version.
