[size=9]Contents[/size]

There are 3 Versions or "LEVELS" of the skyrim photography kit.

Master, Expert, and Adept.

Master and Expert both have the full version of the Weather Control Module and the same Standard Lens Kit, they differ in the way the lens directory is setup. Adept has a simplified weather control module as well as a simplified lens kit

- - - Extras - - -

Lens Kit Complete - The full set of 63 lens kits, here you will find the intermediate lenses that I decided to cut from the standard package for simplicities sake, as well as Freecam versions of the TELEPHOTO lenses that I decided to cut from the standard package because they are unwieldy...

Weather Example Pack - A screenshot of every vanilla weather, sorted according to the weather control module to help you quickly see what is available to you.

Weather Control Standalone - just the weather control module for users who have not a care in the world about the printscreen button

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation
Extract contents of the RAR file to your skyrim Directory (where your skyrim.exe is)

Customization
If you download the optional Lens Kit Complete package you will have several more lenses to choose from to add to your toolset, these are intermediate lenses filling in the gaps of the standard sets.
You can also rename any files to whatever your preference is.

Uninstallation
Remove the files you extracted to your skyrim directory

[size=9]Usage[/size]

- Working the Weather Control Module -

There are 5 Categories of weather at your fingertips with a number of varieties within each.

Clear (1-16)
Cloudy (1-17)
Storm (1-12)(11 and 12 are snow storms)
Fog (1-8)
Special (1-15)

To change the current weather, bring up the console and type

bat "w/<category>/<number>.bat"</number></category>

INCLUDING THE QUOTES!
*note you have to toggle the console off to allow the engine to change the weather to your entry

--- Examples ---

So if I wanted a nice partly cloudy scene for my next shot I would type:

bat "w/cloudy/4.bat"

or if I wanted a cruel snowstorm for my next shot I would type:

bat "w/storm/12.bat"


--------------------------------------------------
- Finding the Right Lens -

Master Version:
The Master lens kit is all in one folder so you type less but have to remember your "mm"s or have the readme open on another monitor or something

Lens files included in the Standard Lens Kit:
13mm - F (Freecam) and FS (Freecam /w Stoptime) versions included
24mm - F (Freecam) and FS (Freecam /w Stoptime) versions included
35mm - F (Freecam) and FS (Freecam /w Stoptime) versions included
50mm - F (Freecam) and FS (Freecam /w Stoptime) versions included
70mm - F (Freecam) and FS (Freecam /w Stoptime) versions included
135mm
200mm
400mm
600mm
1200mm

*note - the "mm" in the lens filename is omitted to speed things up

game.bat - 28mm (for resetting FOV to game default, does not toggle hud off)

FOV Demonstration


To activate your lens using the Master version simply type

bat "L/<lens filename>.bat"</lens>

INCLUDING THE QUOTES!

--- Examples ---

So if I wanted an extreme wide angle shot for an epic landscape I would type:

bat "L/13.bat"

or if I wanted a zoom lens to capture that fluffy bunny off in the distance I would type:

bat "L/600.bat"

or if I wanted a mid range zoom lense with Freecam and Stoptime I would type:

bat "L/50fs.bat"

*NOTE the "mm" is not in the lens filename to help speed things up...

[size=9]TIPS:[/size]

1.all lenses when activated will use the TM console command to toggle off your hud for ease of use. After you activate your lens simply:

press the ~ key
frame your shot
take your shot
press the ~ key,
type tm and hit enter

BAM! Your ready to go for another shot!

2. If you activate any freecam lens while already using one it will toggle off the freecam command (including stoptime) which might make you miss your shot! Use the standard lenses to swap through zooms on the fly while keeping your current stop time and tfc position.

3. After the first time changing the weather, to speed things up and help you type less, press the up arrow to bring up your previous entry and simply change the category and number to your next selection. This also applies when using LENSes

-Commands of Interest-
tm
takes away the hud, type tm again to toggle the hud back on

tdetect
makes you undetectable to all AI, you can walk right up to enemies and take pics with them!

animcam
unlocks a free rotating 3rd person cam that is not focused on the direction the player is facing
