AC Real V1.14

Dropping March 15, 2024.

AC Real 2024 V1.08 - The best visuals to date.

So, after a long period of testing, re-writing, and improving, I am finally ready to release the latest iteration of AC Real. This features fully dynamic shadows, significantly improving the looks of most cars and maps. It also introduces a unique exposure and lighting system. To add even more to the pile, there are also fully adjustable, hyperrealistic reflections using a completely new method. Lastly, it features a completely new concept that elevates everything seen before to a new level "...

AC Real 2024 V1.14 - Preview

Planned release - March 3rd, 2024. 

AC Real 2024 - Pushing the veil.

More Big News!! Combining the V2 Reflections, the heavily reworked exposure, and the new base lighting, the results were already good. However, Now things are getting absolutely surreal. I've found the long-needed missing piece that this game truly needed.  I present "A T M O S P...

AC Real - March 2024

Great news! Substantial improvements have been made to the current lighting system, general exposure calculation method, ambient lighting, glare, etc. I won't sit here and ramble, but I'm extremely proud of what's been accomplished here these past few days. Below is a comparison of the latest public release to what I am currently working on. A completely different level has been reached, and I couldn't have done it without you all. Thanks for all of your love and support.

AC Real - Game-Changing Improvements.

Here's a preview image of the new godrays+significantly better exposure calculation, combined with a completely new reflections approach. To help convey the subconscious feeling that the car is in it's environment instead of separated from it, I dived headfirst into the API of the game and found EXACTLY what I was looking for. It is a drastic improvement to not only the car, but the environment as well. Combining this with the fact that the tone-mapping has already been re-configured complete...

AC Real 2024 - Realism at it's limits.

Well, here it is. This is what I believe to be the best of what CSP and pure have to offer. Adaptive everything, realistic everything, and absolute, complete customizeability. Thanks for supporting me for this long, and I hope you enjoy what I believe is a visual experience to behold.

It’s coming.

Dropping at 4:00 PM EST.

Huge Updates Soon.

So, good news. After re-writing my code for over 5 days straight, every slider and option that was originally in ACRealism is officially back. I also have many, MANY ideas for the near future. Separate glare profiles and color profiles for day and night is now possible with the new code that I've written. With many new ideas in mind, ACRealism will continue to make itself pronounced in its own specia...

AC Real - Redux (PUBLIC RELEASE)

So, I'm sure you guys are wondering where everything went. Well, It was time for me to re-evaluate how this filter has been created, and it wasn't done in the way that it should've been. So, I've completely re-written everything from absolute zero, and I was able to create a visual style that I've already fallen in love with. Now, in 2024, AC Real will have a new meaning. That meaning is "Hyperrealis...

AC Real - A new Beginning.

So, things have changed, and I'm re-writing every single piece of code from scratch, using the experience I've gained over the past year. I'm writing my own logic for everything, and it will be presentable within 1-2 days. Thanks for everything. 

AC Real's Future.

So, after a long, annoying few days, I've gotten a DMCA report. This DMCA report goes all the way back through all of my older, more recent filters, so they have been taken down, so that I am not legally binded. I will be fully re-writing EVERYTHING from the bottom up, and will do it when I have time. The future is not bleak, however. I plan on creating something that will be completely unique in it's own right, being a show of everything I've learned over the past year. Love you all, and tha...

AC Real - A New Perspective.

Hello to all of you! First things first, I apologize for the radio silence here on Patreon, as I've been extremely busy with an array of things. However, the results of this short re-evaluation period are breathtaking.  The patch list is unnaturally long, as a result. This is ove...

AC Real V3.0 - Realism has been reached.

It's finally time. This is Pure's full potential. After almost 2 years of constantly tweaking, changing, and perfecting, I feel I've finally gotten close to what this game is truly capable of. I still can barely believe that there are over 600 of you guys, who all see the same vision that I do. Thank you so much for all your support, it means a ton.
