Follow Photo Cameras is a runtime Unreal Engine plugin that lets you spawn one or more intelligent camera actors that orbit/follow a target actor and save high-quality PNG screenshots to a user-selected folder.
Key Highlights

- Runtime folder picker on Windows for choosing output location at capture start.
- Multi-camera capture with cinematic movement presets and adaptive lag behavior.
- Optional manual trigger mode for dataset generation and gameplay-driven snapshots.
- Smart collision avoidance mode to reduce wall/interior penetration and bad angles.
- Performance Mode with staggered capture and async PNG compression/save options.
- Resolution presets (1K/2K/4K/8K/12K cinematic ratios) plus optional custom X/Y.
- Optional post-process and exposure controls to tune final image appearance.
