Create and open a vrworld object and associate it with the virtual world vrmount.x3d.

myworld = vrworld('vrmount');
open(myworld);

View the virtual world in the Simulink® 3D Animation™ Viewer.

f = vrfigure(myworld);

Create an RGB image of the figure.

image_capture = capture(f);

R2023b: To be removed

The capture will be removed in a future release. Instead, use sim3d classes and Simulation 3D blocks to interface MATLAB® and Simulink® with the Unreal Engine® 3D simulation environment. To get started, see Create 3D Simulations in Unreal Engine Environment.
