Hello my dear Patreons,

Pure 0.180 includes some very exciting new features. With CSP 0.1.80p218 new tonemapping functions are available. It is even possible to define custom functions.

Tonemapping is needed to compress the dynamic of tones. Internally the colors have no real limit, but to display them on a monitor, its important to lower those tones, to fit the monitors range. Otherwise the displayed tone would be just white.

The way how this works and which function is used, mainly defines how the picture looks after this process. Before CSP and Pure 0.180, we were limited to use the existing YEBIS functions, colorgrading or Reshade. Colorgrading is done in the LDR range, so colors are already compressed. Colorgrading can also lead to banding in its worst case. Reshade could be used, but can cause additional GPU load, which lowers the fps and it can cause other difficulties and it is an external effect, with no connected control.

With Pure 0.180 I integrated very easy to use functions to add extended tonemapping and even custom functions. For the casual user, I added thise new tonemapping to the pure, pureCandy and pureLinear ppfilters. So you can easily choose different methods and make your custom settings.

For ppfilter creators, i added functions to insert very own code.

Also with CSP 0.1.80p218 a new Conten Manager (0.8.25...) was released. It now supports a custom weather selection in the Drive Menu. The Sol 2.5 weather controller will have its own submenu there.

If you play challenges and want to use the weather which is defined in the event, please use the dynamic controller and set the Start weather to "Predefined".

If you use "real condition", please select the Sol 2.5 controller in the controller submenu!

Highres version (16k skydomes set) / 1.6GB:
mega: Pure_0.180a_Highres
mediafire: Pure_0.180a_Highres

Actually,  the highres skydomes have no influence on your FPS. Also, only 2  textures are buffered in your GPU's VRAM. So it will only take 128MB of  VRAM. But if you want to check with smaller skydome textures, or you  don't have the internet connection to download a 1.6 GB file, please use  the Lowres pack (240 MB).

Lowres version (4k skydomes set) / 240 MB:
mega: Pure_0.180a_Lowres
mediafire: Pure_0.180a_Lowres
