Project info/blog at https://dfx.lv/PhotoModeFX .

## Features - 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. # Requirements 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).

## Note for compatibility with Unreal Engine 4.26.1 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**.

# How to Use 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.
