The current state of LCS.

I’ve spent the last month deep-diving into how I can really make LCS as good as I think it can be, and I think I’ve made very significant progress. As the months go by, things will only get better and better. It’s at the point where I can confidently say that I’d use this over the Gamma iteration of the filter in almo...

AC Real - UI Update + NR Update

Hello! This month's update is mostly for quality-of -life. It brings a completely new look to the filter's menus.

AC Real - Bloom Update

Adds support for pure's newest and most recent update. The biggest thing is that bloom is now much more accurate to how your eyes percieve light. Reflections, base lighting, etc have also been adjusted minorly to fit this change. There is also now working Film Grain.(Pure 2.5+ needed.)

AC Real LCS gets some TLC.

Spent some extra time over the last 2 months refining LCS until Pure and CSP’s next large update. You’ll love it.

AC Real V1.29 - Creating more natural lighting.

Hey, we're back and another update is ready to be pushed out to you all! I felt that the last version of the filter still left a few things to be desired, so this update focused on improving performance, while also creating more soft, natural lighting that isn't harsh on the eyes. To achieve this the ambient light, reflection...

AC Real 2024 - V1.22

So, after a long wait(and many changes) V1.22 is finally here!

The biggest change, however, is that the filter now works on a completely re-envisioned, all new auto-exposure system. This has access to 3 things: Sun Brightness, Ambient Environment brightness, and Directional ambient brightness. This is then leveraged us...

Coming 5/1/2024.

What's to come - AC Real May 2024.

A few much-needed things have been heavily re-vamped. The biggest change, however, will be the auto-exposure. It has been re-conceptualized from the ground up. It is now calculated using sun brightness, Ambient Light, and directional ambient lighting as factors to increase the feeling of being under the sun.
