π Time for a new level of realism! Work is underway on the new version of Pure Light π
Hey Drivers! π
I wanted to share a little sneak peek of what I've been working on intensively in my virtual workshop lately. In the attached screenshots, you can see an early phase of a massive update for the Pure Light modification in the Natural variant! πΈβ¨
Currently, I'm focusing on extracting maximum photorealism from the game. My goal is to make every route look exactly like it does outside the window of a real truck. In the new version, I'm polishing:
βοΈ Blinding, realistic sun and flares: Just look at the shots from the toll gates or the morning route! The light scatters on the windshield 100% naturally, practically forcing you to squint. No more flat lighting β we are now keeping a perfect white balance that won't tire your eyes even on the longest jobs.
π³ Volumetric rays and shadow play (God Rays): See for yourselves how insanely the light pierces through tree canopies and overpasses, creating thick, almost physical streaks of light falling straight onto the asphalt.
βοΈ Environment depth and interior integration: New parameters make open spaces truly breathtaking. Notice how realistically the interior of your Scania is illuminated β with every detail, from the red embroidered dashboard mat, to the Poppy air fresheners, the tablet, and the RMF FM radio π» playing on the dash.
This version is still a "Work in Progress" (WIP) π οΈ, which means I'm still polishing it, balancing parameters, and testing it out on the highways in various weather conditions and speeds. I want to be absolutely sure I deliver a top-quality product into your hands.
π A massive thank you to every Patron β it's thanks to your continuous support that I can spend hours analyzing lighting in ETS2 and creating this modification. You are the best!
Stay tuned, because I'll be sharing the first test builds for supporters soon. Let me know in the comments how you like these first shots! π
Safe travels! π£οΈ
