Rookspire - Rookspire Photo Mode

Rookspire Photo Mode is a complete, ready-to-use photo mode for single-player Unreal Engine games. Add one Blueprint component to your PlayerController, press P, and your players can leave the game view, fly or orbit a camera around the scene, adjust the image like a photographer and save the result as a PNG.

The interface works like a camera lens: every slider is an engraved 3D lens ring that you turn with the mouse, the arrow keys or the D-pad. Everything is Blueprint, uses Enhanced Input, and every control is a data asset, so you can retune, remove or add controls without editing widgets.

Features
