Fully Compatible with Next Gen Update
Overview
Whenever you interact with a sign or a poster in the base game, the camera just instantly cuts to a zoomed in position so you can get a better look at it. In Blood and Wine CDPR made it so that the camera gradually zoomed into the sign for some signs. This inconsistency really bothered me so I made this mod that forces the graceful zoom for all signs and posters throughout the game.
Details
The gradual zoom in feature was actually built in to the game's CStaticCamera class from the beginning. The speed of the zoom in and zoom out animations are controlled by the blendInTime and blendOutTime respectively. The default values for both of these times are set to 0 by CDPR hence the instant cut effect you see in the base game. For some signs and posters in Blood and Wine CDPR overrode these default values in the sign's w2l file with nonzero numbers hence the smooth transition is present for those signs/posters. Instead of painstakingly editing the file for every sign in the game and causing conflicts, I decided to just change the default blend times in the script to 1.0 seconds so that it would universally apply to all signs using the default blend time(the vast majority of the signs/posters in the game).
Those that would like to edit this time to their liking can open the poster.ws file under [Mod folder]/content/scripts/game/gameplay and change the times where I have marked "//MOD ADD BLEND".
I have also created a version that alternatively forces every sign/posters camera zoom in to be an instant cut like in the base game.

Installation
Place "modPosterView" into your Mods folder. If there isn't one create it. Merge the script if needed. It's only a 2 line edit so it should in theory merge nicely with just about anything. Enjoy!
