TimelapseCreator
Same timelapse but highquality. (Because of 2mb limit i put a link here)[github.com]
TimelapseCreator captures images of your city between given time and saves to folder you choose. You can choose captures camera location and after you can continue to build your city when the times comes its captures and saves image at choosen location when you are done just put them in gif maker and Ta-da your timelapse is ready. Enjoy your cities grow in seconds.
Set which folder to save images.
Set camera position with Camera position button every time it take captures from that locations.
If you dont set position it captures from player cameras position.
Change capture location without stoping record.
Stop and restart when ever you like.
Captured image resolution will be same as your game window.
When capture time comes you can lose control for one frame i explained in the Limititation segment.
In cities skylines i dont know why one day and night cycle is a full month cycle. Even i set to interval 5 day its more like a 1 hour. Btw i prefer 5 day for interval.
This mod shouldn’t be effect your frame rate other than captured frames render time but you feel like it has some leak or other performance issue please let me know.
If you like this idea, help me improve this idea with commenting what you like and what you want to change i would happy to read out your ideas.
My first attempt was adding another camera to scene and capture with it but after i add another camera i remember this game heavly optimized with LOD and culling. When ever players cameras look other ways scene turns into a void. Because of this issue i came up second attempt.
In second attempt when capture times comes for a frame render time a take control put camera to desired location then capture image. After capture i try to put camera as i found. (Sometimes this wont work so when you see something similar to this put a comment).
If you thing we can fix this limititation i would like to update and give better experience.
