Hi all,

Photomode

Proud to present a brand new type of camera control, built specifically for taking pretty pictures of your creations.

Opt-in to the experimental branch to test out this update early:


Photomode Features:

• A free-roam first person camera, accessible at any time by pressing 'P' by default.
  
• Ground snapping, placing you 170cm (67'') above the ground, letting you walk around/on your vehicle.
  
• Enables a higher quality depth-of-field with control over the aperture.
  
• A quick way to toggle temporal anti-aliasing (TAA). TAA can look blurry while the camera is moving, but results in much higher quality edges while the camera is still.
  
• Filters. To stylize shots e.g. old war photographs.
  
• Control over time, allowing frozen, slow-mo and realtime.
  

Some pictures taken during testing, all taken in-game with no external editing:

Fixes

• Fixed knocked out vehicles triggering objectives. e.g. Defence being lost by knocked out enemies rolling across the border.
  
• Fixed camera jitter when moving up or down slopes.
  
• Design auto-loading is now disabled if loading the last auto-loaded design caused an error. Stopping it causing instability each time you load.
  
• Fixed attachment mass not updating on scale changes.
  
• Fixed external fuel tank capacity not updating on scale changes when attached.
  
• Fixed built-in King Tiger's armour layout.
  
• Formation visualization now disabled when the GUI is disabled.
  
• Fixed flickering of rocks on 'No Tank's Land' scenario.
  
• Removed 2 empty keymapping slots in settings.4
  

Changes

• Sprocket/idler traction now takes more power from the roadwheels when in contact with the ground. Increasing sprocket/idler traction.
  
• Game version and FPS counter are now shown/hidden with the GUI.
  

More improvements to be made to photo-mode over time.
Very excited to see what you all do with this first iteration, have fun!
