Post-Process Changes & New Effects

As September is already here, it's time for another monthly update for the PP Filter!
Here's what's changed.
Exposure has been decreased.
Contrast is less intense at low sun-angles.
Sunlight is now more intense as when the Sun is rising or setting down, making mornings and sunsets visually more dramatic.
Nights are brighter with ambient light being more apparent but not distracting.
With August now here, it's time for a new monthly update for the CDimagined PPfilter!
To show off the new update, I'll compare it to the July update that was before, while giving explanations of what has changed. A comparison of new vs old (new is on the left, old is on the right)
Lighting has been reworked, for to be "more logical", brightness and contrast now spreads evenly from the sky to the ground/lan...

After nearly two years since our very first release of this PPfilter, we've always chosen to label our versions with a beta tag.
But after continuously refining every small detail, we've reached a point where it's time to leave the beta label behind. This release right here is the one—we can confidently say that our vision has been realized in Pure Gamma Space.
That doesn't mean development stops here—far from it. We'll continue updating the Gamma version. But from th...

Additional adjustments for V2 Ambient Lighting and a lot of cloudy weather optimizations.

Happy belated New Year, everyone! Here's the first update of the year: the filter is now fully adapted to Ambient V2 and optimized for Pure 2.38 & CSP 0.2.6.
2025-01-05 13:06:44 +0000 UTC View Post
Mainly reworked the filter from single ambient light method to tiled ambient light, thus making the ambient light more realistic.
Adapted to newer Pure (2.36)
- Reflections are now more dynamic and realistic.
- Exposure levels have been reduced.
- Light source changes are now more accurate.
- Sun saturation has been adjusted for improved accuracy.
- Sky hue and brightness levels are now more precise.
- Ambient light levels during midday have been increased to prevent overly dark scenes.
We removed the old brightness value and replaced it with exposure, making the filter much more dynamic and responsive to different times of day and conditions. Driving through a tunnel in SRP should now give you the "blinding effect." Reflections are now very LCS-like—we increased the reflection levels while taking exposure into account but compensated for it with CPL.
I also tried to optimize the script because there have been complaints that our filter was reducing FPS. I've improve...

Sun and Sunlight Improvements
Enhanced visual appearance of the sun and reduced the intensity of sunblinding effects.
Refined the color of sunlight during morning and evening hours to a warmer, more natural orange hue, replacing the previous harsh yellow tone.
Lighting and Shadows
Significant improvements to the contrast between sunlight and shadows for a more realistic experience.
This is a hotfix version for CDimagined v1.9 beta.
New values for more stable colour temperature.
Darker shadows brightness/ambient light level at most times.
Cloud brightness and contrast changes for dry cloudy weather types.
Increased reflections level.
More realistic reflections saturation.
Darker skydome brightness at sunny times.
More natural sunlight saturation.

The long-awaited update is finally here. After months of working on what we confidently believe is our best work yet, we have finally broken the silence. We can assure you, the outcome was worth the wait.
The main thought behind CDimagined was always to make midday actually look like midday. We saw that the potential of the visuals was hidden under a thick layer of unnecessary color gradi...
