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.
If you don't see the rottr.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 running the game as Administrator,
and the IGCSClient.exe does not, it can't see the rottr.exe process. In that case, restart the IGCSClient.exe as Administrator.
When you set the camera device on the Configuration tab in the client to Gamepad, you can control where Lara looks at by moving the mouse. This might help setting up the right pose for a Lara portrait.
Image Adjustments
The Image Adjustments tab is the tab where you can adjust some aspects that might influence the image.
Miscellaneous options
- Higher LODs and Sun shadow resolution
- This setting allows you to increase the in-game level of detail of further away elements like trees / objects beyond the maximum the game settings allow. Also it increases the resolution of the sun shadowmap so the sun shadows are less low-res.
- 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.
Information recorded with camera path nodes
When you create a Camera path, each node records the camera location, orientation and field of view.
