Capture¶

Purpose¶

Owns reusable capture-related editor UI sections shared across Snap Studio Pro panels.

This territory contains reusable directional capture controls and shared capture-facing UI helpers used by animation, static sprite, and export workflows.

The camera projection/orientation IMGUI controls (CameraUIUtils) live in Features/Camera — they depend on camera feature systems, and keeping them below the Panels layer lets Features panels use them without referencing Panels.

Owns¶

Directional capture UI
Shared camera framing helpers
Shared directional snapping UI
Shared capture-facing request helpers

Does NOT Own¶

Capture execution
Rendering implementation
Export orchestration
Preview scene lifecycle ownership
Rendering pipeline implementation

Allowed Dependencies¶

Capture UI helpers may depend on:

Camera feature systems
Directional capture systems
Preview facades
Shared panel controls/styles
Unity Editor IMGUI APIs

Capture UI helpers should avoid depending directly on:

rendering implementation systems
export execution systems
pipeline-specific rendering internals

Notes¶

This folder exists to prevent duplication between: - animation capture workflows - static sprite workflows - directional export workflows

These classes are intentionally reusable UI coordinators rather than feature implementations.

Actual camera fitting, snapping, and capture execution remain delegated to feature systems.

Future Candidates¶

Continue extracting reusable directional capture UI.
Keep capture-facing UI helpers presentation-focused.
Avoid embedding rendering or export execution behaviour into shared capture UI.
