Natural Mod Filter 35
Added 2025-04-06 15:12:07 +0000 UTCAdvanced saturation/vibrance control, boosting dull colours and reducing oversaturated colours.
The desired brightness look for this filter has until now given dull colours in some places (e.g. laguna seca environment in high sun), and some cars in AC have always looked too saturated to my eye (red F40, green Lamborghinis etc). This update addresses both points, as well as applying to the track itself, giving a more natural/less cartoony feel.
I've left it as user-configurable for now (Pure PP app, tonemapping tab, 3 new sliders (vibrance, sat_max, desat), but will probably remove the sliders in a future version to keep things simple.
"vibrance" slider controls how much dull tones are boosted by
"desat" slider controls how much the vivid colours are reduced by
"sat_max" is a bit like a threshold, mostly for the desaturation
Big thank you to Peter Boese for getting me started with custom tonemapping and for making some fixes to these script changes.
The screenshots don't really do it justice, but in-game the subtle change is nicely perceptible.
