What's new

LCS

• Exposure is now more intense in night and darker scenarios, while interior exposure has been slightly reduced.

• Sunlight is overall less intense, especially at lower sun angles, to make exposure adaptation smoother and avoid over-brightening.

• The sun itself has received a huge makeover. It now reacts more noticeably when you turn to face it, initially appearing brighter and producing stronger godrays. Sunlight also scatters more when the sun is off-screen.

• Far fog has been reworked to provide a better sense of distance and atmosphere.

• The moon’s intensity has been decreased to show more texture and reduce its glow.

• Certain weather types have been overhauled. “Fog,” “Smoke,” “Squalls,” “Tornado,” and “Hurricane” weather types have been reworked to appear denser and foggier.

Gamma

• The sunlight hue has been changed to appear less red/pinkish during sunrises and sunsets.

• The Gamma-specific vao.amount function has been forced from 1 to 0, as it provided no benefit.

• Godrays are now more visible at all times of day.

• Glare has been adjusted to be less intense.

LCS & Gamma

• Tonemapping has been changed to have less contrast and provide better highlights, helping source lights appear brighter as well.

• Ambient light has been reduced to create a clearer difference between shade and sunlight. This also improves depth in shaded areas without making everything appear too bright or flat.

UI

• The “Godrays” parameter has been moved under the “Glare” tab.

• Some descriptions for certain functions have been removed to reduce clutter.

• The “Glare Boost” option has been removed, since it now seems unnecessary after all the glare changes.

• A new “Atmosphere” tab has been added, including two new parameters: “Fog Distance” and “Horizon Fog.”
