Snap Studio Pro — 3D to 2D Asset Capture

📸 SNAP STUDIO PRO — 3D TO 2D ASSET CAPTURE FOR UNITY

A production Unity Editor tool for turning 3D prefabs into clean, consisten 2D assets — icons, sprites, thumbnails, animation sheets, directiona captures, and drop-in game-ready prefabs.

Unlike simple screenshot tools, Snap uses a controlled preview pipeline wit smart framing lighting and camera systems, so every export stays visuall consistent whether you are capturing one asset or ten thousand.

No Photoshop. No manual scene setup. No inconsistent results.

--------------------------------------------------------

🧠 CORE PHILOSOPHY

Consistent output matters more than individual screenshots.

The goal is not to capture images. It is a reliable production pipeline fo generating clean, repeatable 2D assets from 3D content, at scale: consisten framing, reusable lighting, stable camera positioning, repeatable exports and predictable results across an entire library.

--------------------------------------------------------

🎮 GAME-READY OUTPUT — DROP-IN UNITY ASSETS, NOT JUST IMAGES

Most capture tools hand you PNGs and leave the rest to you: import them build an AnimationClip, add a controller, wire up a prefab.

Snap does that last mile for you.

Point Game-Ready at frames you have already exported and it hands back engine-native, drop-in Unity assets: trimmed, tightly-cropped Sprites, ready-to-play AnimationClips, an AnimatorController, and a prefab that animates the moment you drag it into a scene.

It builds one of two shapes, auto-detected from the folder you select:

• EFFECT — a self-contained object: fire, explosion, pickup, spinning coin. One clip, one controller, one prefab. Directional effects get a direction-switching controller with a simple Direction integer.
• CHARACTER — one rig from many animations: idle, walk, attack, hit. Every animation becomes a state in a single controller, wrapped in a single prefab, with directional animations built into a MoveX/MoveY 2D blend tree so the character faces your movement vector out of the box.

Every frame is trimmed to one shared crop, so sprites never jitter or resize between frames, and a bottom-centre pivot keeps feet planted.

You get a fully-wired, facing-ready rig. You author the gameplay logic.

A "Make Game-Ready" button sits beside the export on every capture tab — the natural next step, where you already are.

--------------------------------------------------------

🎬 DIRECTIONAL ANIMATION CAPTURE

Export full animation controllers as sprite sequences, directional animations, GIF previews and spritesheets.

• 4, 8 or 16 directional angles
• Consistent bounds across every frame
• Automatic pivot alignment
• Animation scrubbing and frame capture
• Spritesheet generation

Built for side-scrollers, top-down games, RPGs and stylised 2D pipelines.

--------------------------------------------------------

📸 ICON & SPRITE EXPORT

Clean, perfectly framed 2D images from any 3D prefab — ready for UI icons, inventory systems, store thumbnails, asset packs, stylised previews and production sprites.

--------------------------------------------------------

🧠 SMART AUTO-FRAMING

Snap detects prefab bounds and frames assets within the capture area automatically — no manual camera tweaking per prefab. This is what makes batch exports and storefront thumbnails come out uniform across a large library.

--------------------------------------------------------

🎨 STYLE PRESETS

Apply complete visual styles instantly: solid backgrounds, linear and radial gradients, transparency, custom backgrounds, reusable lighting presets and camera style presets. 

Keep exports consistent across a whole project or asset pack.

--------------------------------------------------------

💡 FULL LIGHTING CONTROL

A fully adjustable 3-point lighting system — key, fill and rim light, shadow control, exposure adjustment, light rotation and intensity. Clean presentation renders or stylised game-ready output, entirely inside Unity.

--------------------------------------------------------

📷 ADVANCED CAMERA SYSTEM

Preset camera styles, orthographic and perspective support, manual framing overrides, zoom and angle adjustment, side-scroller and top-down presets, and multi-angle capture workflows. Smart automation with full manual override.

--------------------------------------------------------

🗂️ ASYNCHRONOUS BATCH EXPORT

Export large prefab libraries without freezing the Editor: asynchronous processing, structured folder output, multi-angle export, filtered export workflows and reusable export presets.

--------------------------------------------------------

🌐 FULL RENDER PIPELINE SUPPORT

Built-in Render Pipeline, URP and HDRP. Snap detects the active pipeline and routes capture through the matching implementation.

No separate packages. No duplicate workflows. No pipeline-specific setup.

Where a pipeline genuinely changes a capture — most notably how transparency is handled on URP — Snap warns you rather than letting you find out in the output.

--------------------------------------------------------

📚 DOCUMENTATION

The full documentation site is public and needs no purchase. Read it and decide for yourself before you spend anything:

https://revandrab.github.io/SnapStudioPro_Base/

• 261 pages, layered from installation through workflows to the internals
• A README beside the source in 207 folders, so the codebase explains itself if you go looking
• Every workflow documented as a walkthrough, not a feature list
• Pipeline-specific behaviour written down where it differs

Where a design costs you something, the documentation says so. Where example assets appear in a screenshot, it says they are not included.

--------------------------------------------------------

⚡ EDITOR-FIRST — AND WHAT ACTUALLY REACHES YOUR BUILD

The capture pipeline is Editor-only. The window, the preview, the framing, lighting and camera systems, and every exporter are in Editor assemblies and are never compiled into a player.

• Four small assemblies are not Editor-gated, and they are worth naming rather than claiming a zero footprint:
• PrefabMetadata and Attributes — about 170 lines. The components and attributes that tag prefabs for filtering. Runtime types by necessity: they live on your prefabs.
• RuntimeKit — about 950 lines of optional demo scripts for the sample scenes. Delete the folder if you are not using them.
• uGIF — about 1,220 lines, the third-party GIF encoder.

Nothing in the capture pipeline runs at runtime. RuntimeKit does, if you choose to use its demo scripts — that is what it is for. Delete RuntimeKit and ThirdParty and nothing else stops working except GIF export and the demo scenes.

"Zero runtime footprint" would be easier to write and would not be true.

--------------------------------------------------------

🔧 FULLY CUSTOMISABLE

Lighting, shadows, exposure, backgrounds, transparency, framing, camera angles, overlays and materials. Save reusable presets to match a project's visual identity and hold it across every export.

--------------------------------------------------------

🕹️ WHO IT IS FOR

• Indie developers building 2D games from 3D assets
• Developers who want playable 2D assets, not just image files
• Asset publishers creating icons, thumbnails and promotional art
• Tool developers generating stylised previews inside Unity
• Teams needing large-scale consistent sprite exports

--------------------------------------------------------

⚙️ REQUIREMENTS

• Unity 6.0 or later. Earlier versions are not officially supported and may
• not behave correctly — HDRP volume-override workflows in particular
• require Unity 6.
• Built-in, URP or HDRP. Snap detects which and routes accordingly.
• No setup step. The window is ready the moment it opens.

--------------------------------------------------------

⚠️ EXAMPLE ASSETS ARE NOT INCLUDED

The characters, environments, props and other assets shown in screenshots throughout this listing and the documentation are not included. They are used purely for demonstration. Snap captures your prefabs; it does not ship art.
