MunShot
A photo mode for KSP2 Redux. Pause the game, bring any kerbal into the shot, pose them, frame it with a free or orbiting camera, and take the picture.
🚧 Pre-release (0.1.0): early, but working. Please report problems on the issues page.
What it does
- Photo mode. Open it in flight from Redux's app tray, the Photo Mode button in the pause menu, or Left Alt+P. The game pauses and its UI hides; MunShot's own panel sits on the left edge of the screen.
- Any kerbal, anywhere. Bring in kerbals from the scene or from anywhere in your roster. They appear in front of the camera as stand-ins, so the real kerbals are never moved: closing photo mode puts everything back exactly as it was.
- Poses. 17 of the game's own animations, held at their best moment, in ground and jetpack versions. Helmets and visors come off with a switch.
- Placing. The VAB's own move and rotate handles, with angle snap. Select several kerbals with a drag box or Shift+click and move or turn them together. Snap to surface stands them on the ground, Stand upright straightens them out, and Delete takes them out of the shot.
- Camera. Fly freely with WASD and the mouse, holding Shift to pick up speed for long distances, or orbit around your ship or a kerbal. Roll and field of view are yours to set.
- Taking the photo. Press F1 (the game's screenshot key) or the shutter button. Photo mode's UI hides for the shot, and Redux saves it to the game's
Screenshotsfolder with your screenshot settings.
Six kerbals from the roster brought to the launch site for a group photo.
The photo mode overlay: tabs for Kerbals, Pose and Camera on the left, the shutter at the bottom, and the keys along the bottom edge.
