Calling "Execute Console Command" blueprint and writing "HighResShot 3840x2160" as command did the work; thank you.

Thank you Cobra for the tip on the Custom Depth - I use Unreal for making illustrations and need transparent backgrounds. Excellent. I was so happy for your tips - but unfortunately I can't get Custom Depth to work on procedural foliage. Any tips? Have a great day and thanks again from Copenhagen, Adam

hello I have a question, I want to get a SCREENSHOTS from a scene but using path tracing, when I change the size of the image in the console the capture is restarted, it only lets me set the value 1 how can I increase the size of the captures using path tracing without restart

[ShieldedRender]

Hello! I have this scene but I wanted unreal to only screenshot the assets and have a transparent background. Is it possible?

[markecgazda]

what game are you making in this video?

[dangerousmindgames]

Rare homerun of a video. But for me turning on render customdepth pass and then ticking the box in the screen shot tool like you did does not show the item. The screen remains all green. This worked fine in UE4 but it's not working in UE5. Does anybody know why? Thanks!

Is there anyway to take the shot with UI enabled?
