NVPHOTOREALISM + NV STUDIO
Hello everyone!
The past few months have been incredibly busy. Before anything else, I want to say a huge thank you to Ilja, the creator of Custom Shaders Patch, for his help and support throughout this project!
During this time, I have been trying to bring something to Assetto Corsa that it has never had before: one complete, modern and easy-to-use creative workspace.
So, I would like to introduce NV STUDIO V1.0.
NV Studio brings together many tasks that are normally spread across different Pure and CSP applications. You can adjust the PPF, change the weather, time and season, build a complete photo scene, move the car, place lights, edit materials and capture the final image — all without opening several other apps.
Everything is available in one place and updates live as you work.
🌅 UPDATED NVPHOTOREALISM PPF
NV Studio was developed together with a major update to NVPHOTOREALISM. The application and filter work as one connected system through a custom CSP/Pure bridge.
The PPF has been rebuilt and refined for Pure LCS, with a focus on realistic lighting, photography and consistent results in different conditions.
The main improvements include:
Better automatic exposure and light adaptation
Improved interior and exterior lighting balance
Dynamic sunlight, ambient light, sky and reflections
Refined CSP lights, emissive materials and bounced lighting
Reworked day and night bloom, glare and godrays
Cinematic clarity, halation, diffusion and anamorphic effects
Speed-responsive motion blur, vignette and depth of field
Improved film grain and corrected lens-distortion artefacts
All main PPF settings can be adjusted and previewed directly from NV Studio in real time.
📷 COMPLETE PHOTO WORKFLOW
NV Studio is designed to help you build the entire scene and capture the final image from one application.
🎥 CINEMATIC DOF
The new Cinematic DOF includes active autofocus for both video and live camera movement.
Focus remains active while the camera or subject moves. You can control the focus speed, focus offset, aperture, effect strength and maximum focus distance.
Manual focus is also available for carefully composed photos.
🚗 REAL-TIME CAR MOVEMENT
Move, rotate and pose the car directly in real time while building your shot.
You can adjust its position, height, yaw, pitch, roll, steering and wheel rotation with immediate visual feedback.
Motion Shot tools are also included for creating a controlled sense of movement and speed.
💡 OPEN-WORLD LIGHTING
Create up to six custom lights and place them anywhere in the game world.
Move the camera to the desired location, create a light and lock it in world space. Lights can also follow the setup when needed.
Each light includes controls for:
Colour and temperature
Power and range
Position and direction
Softness and spotlight shape
Dynamic shadows
Visibility in reflections
An automatic three-point lighting rig is also included.
🖼️ FINAL CAPTURE QUALITY
Before taking the final photo, you can choose:
4–80 accumulation samples
Output resolution multiplier
Image sharpening
Texture sharpness
Native, 3:2, 4:3, 1:1 or 2.39 crop format
Before capture, NV Studio displays the final output resolution, selected sample count and total number of renders required.
The final image is saved as a high-quality PNG.
🎭 ADVANCED MASKING
One of NV Studio’s biggest features is a level of selective image editing that has not previously been available inside Assetto Corsa in this form.
You can create up to four independent masks.
Click any visible object in the game view to target its real scene depth, automatically target the focused car, or choose from:
Depth mask
Sky mask
Linear gradient
Radial gradient
Luminance range
Colour range
Every mask can be inverted, feathered and adjusted separately.
Each mask can also have its own exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, colour, saturation, clarity, texture, dehaze, sharpness, noise reduction and film grain settings.
🎨 SIMPLE CAR PART AND MATERIAL EDITING
NV Editor makes selecting and editing vehicle materials simple.
The application can automatically detect the main body paint, or you can click directly on any visible car part. There is no need to search for mesh or material names using developer tools.
You can select and edit up to six separate car parts.
Material controls include:
Colour and brightness
Surface finish
Metallic response
Clear coat
Paint flakes
Reflections
Pearl effect
OEM, Metallic, Pearl, Satin and Matte presets are included. The original material can always be restored.
ADDITIONAL TOOLS
NV Studio also includes:
NV HUD — a configurable Full, Compact or Custom driving HUD
NV CAM — a custom chase camera with profiles, motion response, drift stabilization and cinematic idle behaviour
Pure weather, time, month and quick-preset controls
Included LUT presets and a full HSL colour mixer
Composition and crop guides
Custom photo lighting and Motion Shot tools
NV Studio does not replace Pure or CSP themselves — they remain the foundation of the system.
The goal is to bring the most important Pure, CSP and photography workflows together in one modern application: fewer separate apps, less configuration editing and a much simpler creative process.
NVPHOTOREALISM and NV STUDIO are currently in their final testing and polishing stage.
Thank you all for your patience and support!

How soon will it be released?
Just dropped
Sounds pretty good… I like the sound of cinematic DOF effects with auto focus throughout video capture… positionable lighting, definitely sounds like you’ve been very busy. 👍🏼
Wowww that's really ambitious and a great idea! AC photography will be on a new level! Thanks for all you do!
