#Firewatch wallpaper series

It makes sure the вЂSunsetвЂ™ variant doesnвЂ™t start displaying too soon in the afternoon, even during winter.(Spoiler alert: next paragraph contains Bioshock and Heavy Rain spoilers) Enjoy!Д®DIT: I fixed some timing issues, and re-uploaded a new version under the name вЂњFirewatch SunвЂќ. So here you are! A nice Firewatch dynamic wallpaper for macOS, adjusted to the sunвЂ™s position. To make sure the middle-of-the-day will be displayed even during winter, I inserted instead two pictures, timed early in the morning and late in the afternoon. Which means that during winter, when the sun is low, the wallpaper engine will simply skip this picture. A little trickery though: if the middle-of-the-day picture is timed at 12:00, itвЂ™s sun elevation will be very high. MacOS wallpaper engine will then use these informations to display the correct picture to you, depending on the season at your place. Here are the exact timing used for the wallpapers: For instance, by using the atmosphere simulation of, we can get a rough idea of the time of each picture.

Turns out there are softwares that can tell the light of the day at a given time and location: planetariums. For instance: at what time was the first light of dawn visible in Shoshone Forest on the 3rd of July 1989? Which leaves us with interesting questions. But for the various sunrise and sunset pictures, this is harder to define. For the middle of the night, this is easy enough: jut set the time to midnight. Now we need to time the different wallpapers. IвЂ™ve arbitrarily chosen the 3rd of July 1989, which roughly matches the first days of the game. The game takes place during summer 1989, so it seems like a good fit. I chose the wallpapers to be in Shoshone National Forest, for obvious reasons. Wallpaper-makers can then automatically convert this time+location data into the sun angle and elevation.ДЇirst, the location.

Rather than computing the sun angle and elevation ourselves, an easiest way is to set the time and GPS position of the pictures. On macOS, making the wallpaper dependant on the sun position means adding fictive sun altitude and azimuth to the images. So I edited the wallpaper metadata, to make them dependant on the sun position rather than the time of the day. Which means that during winter, the wallpaper would still be a bright blue while outside the night was already dark. However the previous dynamic wallpaper was timed to the clock вЂ“ and so didnвЂ™t account for the current sunrise and sunset time at your location. Then dynamicwallpaper.clup user Jagoba turned them into a nice macOS dynamic wallpaper for macOS.
