A complete, generic, unobtrusive, easy-to-use in game photographic system (PhotoMode) for Unreal Engine 4.23.1 (and newer).
Project info/blog at https://dfx.lv/PhotoModeFX .
- Easy to use, add BP_PhotoModeFX to your level and is ready to use.
- Moveable camera with free movement while game is paused.
- 21 Filters with customizable settings, compatible with Deferred and Forward renderer.
- Pre and Post events to notify the game when PhotoModeFX is starting/exiting.
- HighResolution with Buffer Visualization screenshots (via ScreenshotTools plugin).
- Panoramic (360) and Stereoscopic (VR) with Buffer Visualization screenshots (via PanoramicCapture plugin).
- Capture and export Cubemaps.
- Generate 3DPhotos (for Facebook).
- Blueprint only, to easily package your project to any supported platform.
- No tick events.
- Following current UE4 Best Practices.
Unreal Engine 4.23.1 or newer.
ScreenshotTools plugin (can be disabled if HighRes Screenshots aren't necessary).
PanoramicCapture plugin (can be disabled if Panoramic/Stereoscopic Screenshots aren't necessary).
CineCameraComponent Filmback nodes changed name from "Filmback Settings" to "Filmback" after UE4.23.1, to fix this error just create new nodes Get/Set using "Filmback" and move the connectors.
You can find this nodes inside BP_PhotoModeFX, Functions PMFX_UI_Filmback and PMFX_UI_SensorChanged.
Video Instructions:
Download the Zip file.
Extract the files to any folder.
Delete the .git_img* folder (if you download/clone from main instead of release package).
Open PhotoModeFX.uproject in Unreal Engine. (double+click the PhotoModeFX.uproject file)
Open Content/PhotoModeFX/BP_PhotoModeFX and compile the blueprint (ignore warnings, fix the error mentioned above).
Open the included Content/PhotoModeFX/PMFX_SampleMap and play the level.
Press keyboard P key to start PhotoModeFX (you can change the default key and other settings on BP_PhotoModeFX Details panel).
If you like the features, you can migrate BP_PhotoModeFX to other projects (UE4 will migrate any dependencies too), add BP_PhotoModeFX to your main level and test on your project.

. PhotoModeFX project files are light weight with 5,659Kb (zipped) but ReadMe screenshots at .git_img folder raises it to 74,715Kb (zipped) .
