Pure Config

new headlights control

new UI group design

Custom controls for tonemapping controls

Pure Planner

weather from the replay is used, to set the weather in the plan, if a replay is loaded and Pure Planner is switched to "replay mode"

fixed humidity and mist control in replays

fixed working of CM-Drive start wetness and puddles

manual is hidden, if run mode is "none"

added dynamic weather calculations parameter to the settings

added an option to link Planner time multiplier and Weather dynamics time multiplier

changed settings saving routine

activated dynamic calculation of weather parameters by default

fastly changing dynamic weather, if weather is changed manually in the active slot

Integration of custom post-processing

With the newer CSP versions, YEBIS can be bypassed, and a custom PP is possible. Pure’s customPP will do all the basic things like YEBIS (tone mapping, color adjustment and color grading), but it has optimizations and new features. CustomPP uses a very lightweight variant of Glare. It is not as nice as the YEBIS one (maybe in the future), but it will give some FPS back. It is like a functional Glare.

CustomPP also has an optimized autoexposure (AE) algorithm. It will detect little light sources much better than the YEBIS AE, and so exposure generation is more stable at nighttimes.

Due to customPP, HDR mapping and custom HDR mapping are now possible.The new “pureHDR” PPfilter offers a new way to use HDR in AC.

pureHDR

HDR conversion, to emulate an LDR-like look, with higher tone resolution and precision

The pureHDR filter will force customPP, you don’t need to set anything. It also uses its own tone-mapping function – coded inside the script, which brings great results, to achieve a functional and aesthetic HDR tone conversion. The developed code provides a handy control to manage certain dynamic ranges.

The main idea of this ppfilter is to create an LDR-like look with just a little bit more dynamic range while using the higher precision of the HDR output. The result is a very clear and sharp look with some higher dynamic range and a good visibility of all parts of the picture.

This filter also has a unique feature. Very low tones will be desaturated. So, this kind of simulates color blindness in the dark. Therefore, night scenes look much more realistic and immersive.

pureVR

An optimized PPfilter/script, for using VR. It will avoid some distractions and its tone mapping is made to have a clear view, without the loss of details.

Sunblinding shader

A new Pure shader to gain immersion and feel the power of the sun. In my opinion, this is the biggest improvement to AC/CSP that Pure has added since its creation. This shader will give a real feel for the amount of light the sun gives. The shader can be customized for your own needs, and it can be completely controlled by PPfilter scripts.
