C13 AEGIS 1.21 public (early access)
🕑 Added 2023-05-20 07:14:02 +0000 UTCThe time has come my friends. The visuals are stable and consistent enough to warrant the first Patreon supported public release. A few things to note:
UPDATE ONLY IF USING CSP 0.1.80preview218!
Older CSP versions are fully supported, but the intended visuals require the custom tonemapping implementation introduced in p218. Speaking of which; this is only the first publicly available filter to use a fully custom tonemapping function. What this enables is phenomenal levels of control of the global contrast based on scene brightness, and for the first time, controlled luminance linked saturation without banding artifacts. My filters have always been more about behaviour than that single photo op perfection, and that's still true. Photos of course look amazing, but what C13 AEGIS does that no other filter can, is look phenomenal in all conditions at all times of day. This is made for you to drive with. And i hope you do that.
So the ever dry changelog since 1.0:
- Implemented a fully custom tonemapping function. This enables better saturation retention at high exposure, better global contrast control, and that silky smooth filmic milky black aesthetic; all without banding issues
- modified glare to better work with the new tonemapping - as such csp 0.1.80preview218 is recommended, as glare with yebis tonemapping is a bit overdone.
- the "disable cg" toggle in pure config PP tab now even better neutralises the AEGIS dynamic tonemapping for a flatter color profile.
- completely reworked godrays, now a "sea of light" aesthetic is possible, gently bathing you in light without producing those immerison breaking solid light shafts.
- adjusted AE to better control daytime overbright
