It's the final piece in the visual puzzle...
CINEMATECH adds user configurable film grains, grits, damages and dirts.
Some are harsh, some are not. You choose the look!
CINEMATECH is designed to go easy on your hardware, but, just in case, we've added a bunch of options to enable you to choose what suits you visually and performance-wise.
Our HIGH settings are made up of THREE LAYERS of 'grain' for a very realistic combination effect.
MEDIUM settings have TWO LAYERS of 'grain'.
LOW settings have ONE LAYER of 'grain' and is probably best if you're experiencing any slowdowns.
In the ADVANCED menu, you may select the OPACITY (ALPHA) of each layer as well as which GRAIN or EFFECT is displayed. Near total control!
In this way, you can tailor-make your 'look', and you can adjust to suit your performance needs!
The CINEMATECH Controller is found in the APPAREL tab on your PIPBOY.
Oh yeah? No problem!
The IMAGINATOR has now added 8 preset CINEMATECH enhancement settings!
These settings include sepia tones, slight blurs, black and white, 70s film look, washed out 50s film, all designed to help complete the cinematic experience.
AND they're ALL configurable using the IMAGINATOR image modification tools. Use the CINEMATECH presets or any other setting for nearly unlimited options!
Mix and match to your heart's content - ALL IN THE PIP-BOY!
Download the file with your mod manager and activate. Or if you prefer manual installation, copy the files to your data folder. You will also need UIO - User Interface Organizer installed (unless you want to manually inject the correct includes to the menu files ... and you are on your own for that).
It REQUIRES FOMM and FOSE.
Oh heck yes...
And remember:
The IMAGINATOR - Control Your Visual Destiny offers NEW CUSTOM PRESETS for CINEMATECH!
We WANT it! Have an idea for a "look"? Leave a comment!
Found an awesome combination? Post a screenshot and tell us how you got it!
We hope you enjoy!
