How to use

Please see for details how to get started and configure this photomode mod, General features and configuration. This guide will provide additional information for the controls / features specific for this photomode mod.

Info

If you don't see the cyberpunk2077.exe process in the Process to inject to textbox, please click the Select button to select it manually. This might be the case if you're using the UPlay+ version. Additionally, if you're using the normal UPlay version but you're running the game as Administrator, and the IGCSClient.exe does not, it can't see the cyberpunk2077.exe process. In that case, restart the IGCSClient.exe as Administrator.

Info

If you previously used the Cyberlit reshade addon for custom lights, you don't need that anymore, it's now built in.

Environment Adjustments

The Environment Adjustments tab is the tab where you can adjust various aspects of the game world.

Miscellaneous options

Time of day
Time of day controls the current world time in a 24 hour clock. You can also change the time of day with the keyboard (see Keybindings) which might be easier than flipping back/forth to the client to get the right sun position.
Game speed
This controls how fast the runs internally; a value of 1.0 is 'normal game speed' and a value of 0.0 is total pause. Use this to create slow-motion effects which help you pause the game at the right moment.

Wetness options

Street wetness factor
This setting makes the streets look wet for the amount you specify.
Puddle size
This setting controls how big the rain puddles are on surfaces.

PM Lookat control

With the PM Lookat control you can manipulate not only V but also the optionally 3 NPCs you can spawn in the photomode (Game version 2.2+).

To get started, enable 'Look at camera' in the photomode for V or the NPC you spawned in the photomode. Then enable the 'PM Lookat controls' selector on the Environment Adjustments tab in the IGCSClient.

The Photomode look at control feature allows you to control the rotation of V's torso and head and where V's eyes look at without moving the camera. This feature works when you enable the 'Look at camera' feature in the photomode. Once you've done that, enable PM Lookat control and you can start rotating V's head/torso and eyes.

The sliders are pretty self-explanatory, except perhaps the eye lookat point. With the two eye sliders, you control basically where V will look at, relative to your V.

It might be, after enabling PM Lookat control you can't rotate the head. This is because the engine doesn't always pass head location information through the lookat code and the tools therefore can't intercept where the head is located (Yes, above the shoulders, good one!). To fix this, simply rotate the torso a bit, you can then rotate the head.

V isn't made of rubber so normal human body constraints apply, meaning you can't e.g. V's head backwards. Sorry about shattering that dream! When you have PM Lookat control enabled and you switch to another pose, the eyes are likely messed up. To fix this simply move one of the eye sliders a bit and it should all be ok.

Info

The tools' lookat controls only work if you select 'Camera' in the photomode for lookat. If you select 'Customization' the tools' controls won't have any effect.

Info

Be sure to disable PM Lookat control after or before you exit the photomode as otherwise the NPC eyes will go bezerk. If you're into that, you can of course leave it enabled, but in case you aren't, be sure to disable it.

In-game overlay

To open the in-game overlay, use the keycombination set for it which is by default Ctrl-Insert. The in-game overlay won't show up if you have framegen enabled, so please disable that.

Camera tab

This tab contains camera related settings, to enable the camera, save/restore camera positions and e.g. change the fov using a slider.

Lights tab

This tab offers the functionality that was previously offered by the Cyberlit Reshade addon. The user interface follows roughly the Cyberlit user interface if you're familiar with it. As Cyberlit was previously a separate add-on, there's extensive documentation of it elsewhere, namely on the Framed site, in case you want to learn more about the aspects of each setting.

Starting out, you are offered three buttons, which spawn one instance of each type of light that's available: Spotlight, Pointlight, and Arealight.

Once spawned, the editor for the selected light is shown and the various aspects of the light can be edited in various sections. Most of the settings are self-explanatory. Some shadow settings won't work if you have ray/path tracing enabled, because with those settings enabled the shadow aspects are controlled by the path/raytracing logic of the game engine. In that case, the most important shadow setting is likely the Raytracing radius (PCSS emu) in the Shadows section.

Area lights

Pointlights and Spotlights might be familiar, however area lights might not. Area lights are by default large areas of lights that can be converted into a light with spotlight characteristics. Think of them as being large softboxes, if you're familiar with studio photography. To create a spotlight like area light, first spawn an Area light by clicking the Area light button and then check the 'Spotlight capsule' checkbox in the Shape section. The most important settings for area light are Capsule length and Outer angle. With those two you can create a bar of light that can be very soft and which can be ideal for e.g. fill lights.

Lighting in general, what to choose?

It's best to first experiment what the lights have to offer. There are many settings and often a setting only does something in certain areas/circumstances. Try to spawn a light in a dark area with a wall so you see the shape of the light and then try the various settings to see what they do.

Gizmos

If you've checked the Show light gizmo's checkbox, a 3D gizmo is shown at the location of the light in the game world. This gizmo allows you to rotate and move (in case of a spotlight) or just move (in case of a pointlight) the light to a new location and / or orientation.

The active, selected light is shown with a full gizmo, the other lights you've created are shown with colored dots. Clicking one of these will select the light associated with it.

Information recorded with camera path nodes

When you create a Camera path, each node records the camera location, orientation and field of view. Additionally to that for this game the camera node will also contain the current time of day and gamespeed. So if you want to have different time of day values per node or game speed you can, just set the value you want in the client on the Environment Adjustments tab and create a camera path node.

Saving/restoring camera state

After you've enabled the camera (default with Insert), you can store the current camera state in three slots. The camera state is the current location, the orientation/rotation of the camera and the FoV, as well as other information recorded in camera path nodes, as the system uses camera path nodes under the hood.

By default you save the camera state by using Ctrl + F6 for saving the current camera state in slot 1, Ctrl + F7 for saving the current camera state in slot 2 and Ctrl + F8 for saving the current camera state in slot 3. To restore the camera state to a saved state, press F6 to restore the camera to the state saved in slot 1, press F7 to restore the camera to the state saved in slot 2 and, press F8 to restore the camera to the state saved in slot 3. These keys are configurable in the keybindings tab.

When you disable the camera again, the saved states are lost. If you want to preserve game states after you disabled the camera (e.g. you want to move the character a bit, and then enable the camera again), use a camera path and add the camera states you want to save as nodes. Camera paths are preserved after you disable the camera.

The default photomode mod controls are listed below. It depends on the Camera control device setting on the Configuration tab whether the device (e.g. mouse or gamepad) can control the camera.
