Dynavision Photomode addon - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

An image post-processor, with its own UI interface, and the ability to adjust the image in real-time and save the changes as programs, based on the current time and weather.

These programs (image settings) are then loaded during your gameplay if the current in-game time/weather matches any of the programs saved.
You can make adjustment to the image by changing:

• brightness, contrast, gamma
• LUT
• luminance
• tone mapping
• color grading
• color mixer

For example, you notice the image is too bright for being a cloudy weather at this particular time (6am) etc. You use the Dynavision UI to tweak it the way you like and save the new program as (cloudy weather,6am)
Now every time it's cloudy weather and 6am, that program is loaded by Dynavision and the image is adjusted automatically.

Saved programs are persisted to files and thus works for any save etc.

Dynavision additionally adds a Photomode, which allows you to move freely the camera in third person, stop/resume the time and of course take screenshots.

To complement the Photomode and screenshots making, additional controls are provided to
alter

• the edge blur depth of field
• change the volumetric lighting intensity
• have the character play poses/emotes
• pin stickers or frames on the image as simple overlay

You can use Dynavision just for the Photomode

GAME requirements

• Anomaly 1.5.2
• MrDemonized Modded Exes

Hard Requirements

• MCM addon

the rest of requirements are listed in the Quickstart guide, a must read for the installation

Conflicts with/Replaces the following addons

• Dynamic Time-based Tonemap
• Dynamic Tonemap Extender
• Dark Too Bright (Dynavision actually expands from this mod idea, it can be considered its seed)
• Any mod that works like the ones listed above

You don't need these mods since Dynavision replace if not extend (with programs) all their features.

However you might be able to use Dynavision in concert with these type of mods, by ticking off Enable, in the MCM Dynavision/configuration/general menu
In this case you'll only use Dynavision for the Photomode

Don't

Don't distribute this mod with your mod-list, modpack or weather mod.

You can use it to fine tune the look of your mod list or weather mod and create your custom preset which you can distribute freely.

End users will have to download the Dynavision mod themselves to use your custom preset
