Snapshot Component

MGTools Generic Snapshot Component:

This component is used in MG-PoseAnim Library and MG-AssetLibrary to create preview images and movies.

PreviewCount: 1~4: Decide how many preview images/movies to make in one go. 4 is the maximum, although you could append more preview images later in PoseAnim Library Tool.

Icon use: #1~#4: When preview count is 4, there will be 4 3d views below.

The top left view is #1, top right view is #2, bottom right view is #3, bottom left view is #4.

So, if you set Icon use #1, the image made from the top left view will be the item icon.

< Get Active: Set the current activated view, set its index as the icon index.

Which means, the image made by the active view will be set as icon.
