UnityWebcamTool

WebTool.cs is a simple script to control webcam in Unity. There is a Test_WebcamTool sample scene showing how to use the script.

How to Use

• Attach WebTool.cs to a GameObject.
• In the inpector, set your webcam device name and requested resolution.
• (optional) Assign a material to apply the WebCamTexture.
• In another script, reference to the WebTool component and call Init() function in Start(). Enter play mode and your webcam will be opened. If targetMaterial is assigned in the previous step, its mainTexture will be automatically replaced with WebCamTexture.

Scripting Reference

• Init() opens webcam and starts rendering to WebCamTexture. If targetMaterial has been assigned, its mainTexture will be automatically replaced with WebCamTexture.
• Texture GetWebcamTex() returns the WebCamTexture.
• SetToMaterial(Material _material) applys WebCamTexture to the material's mainTexture.
• PauseWebcam() pauses the webcam input.
• PlayWebcam() starts the webcam input.
