Pure 0.19x - upcomming features

With Pure 0.19x it will be possible to live edit the track adaption. They can be saved as your own custom settings. With a single click they are exported to clipboard and so its easy to paste them in a track config.As a major improvement for older tracks with limited far track geometry, i developed a shader, which procduces a flat landscape. So the horizon line is restored and the tracks are not floating in an empty space. So for much higher cameras, the track will look integrated into a world.

Hello my dear Patreons,The new updates of Sol and Pure include the new Sol Planner app (3.8) and the new Sol controller (2.42). Both will support the recent CSP RainFx changes. In the new CSP preview versions, rain amount, wetness and puddles got a new scale and have a completely different influence on the car's physics. So the new Sol Planner takes care of this. If you can barely control the car with the new CSP update, lower the wetness generation in Sol Planner with the "difficulty&#3...

Sol weather controller 2 upgrade

Hello,Here is a little upgrade of Sol weather controller 2, to work with the new CSP 0.180p108 (released on 24.12.2022).RainFX was updated! So wetness and puddles needs to be calculated differently.Just copy the extension folder inside the zip to your AC root folder!For this controller upgrade, you need Sol 2.2.5 or Pure 0.148! This is just a rapid update, so Sol Planner will work with the new CSP version. I will work more on this and do a finetuning with much testing.Have some nice daysPeter

A sneak peek at the future of Pure

Just to show you, why it is a little bit quiet since some time.With the latest CSP versions, the integration of own shaders is possible. In the last months, i digged in the basics of shader coding and build in a dynamic shader environment into Pure. You already see it in Pure Config app (with the rain haze shader). This gives me a fast testground to try out things.I started to dig into voluemtric clouds shaders. In the last weeks i experimented with found code and expanded it to AC/CSP needs. I ...

Pure development preview 0.115 bugfix

I found a littel bug in Pure 0.115.The colors are shifted a tiny bit. You will not notice this while looking at the landscape or cars. But this little shift is causing wrong colors with emissive lights, like shift lights. In its extreme form, shift lights can look purple, where as they are originally blue, like in the RaceSimStudio Formula Hybrid 22.This bugfix will solve this problem. I changed the files of the original Pure 0.115 post. So feel free to install Pure 0.115b, to avoid those wrong ...

The current work on Pure

I'm proud to present you a new way of drawing clouds in the sky!The current state of Pure 0.75 has already a nice color composition and more ways to have good tonemapping. It already has various solutions for old AC problems, like Autoexposure and the way weather is created. It is also way more advanced than Sol code-wise.But the current 3d clouds are lacking quality, if the are generated to use less gpu/cpu consumption. Many people wish a port of the 2d clouds from Sol to Pure.I will not do...

The meaning of your patreon subscription

My dear Patrons,You will see Pure on sharing sites in the future. There will always be people, who take the work of someone and share it for free. Thats an old behavior and actually, i don't think its stealing.Because you are not paying for a product, but you support the development. And i wanted to say thank you, for that support and for your trust in me.At the end, pure will be a free software, but as long as it is in development, i don't want to have a too big support work (its alread...

Please read the install guide! There is a new install method!!!You need at least CSP 1.76 public (1819) or 1.77preview1Pure 0.75 has done a big step. Some big problems are solved.Pure now uses its own exposure calculation.This works much better then YEBIS Autoexposure. CSP's Cubemap Brightness Estimation is now used to calculate to whole exposure. This is much more stable and does not vary with different cockpit shapes.You need to use dynamic reflections! Pure Config will show you the needed...

A little preview for Pure 0.7x

New Pure development preview soon...

Sorry for the late next development preview of Pure. But i'm working still on some important things. The next build will have a complete new way of exposure control, which is no longer dependent of Yebis' AutoExposure. So nearly all problems of the behavoirs with the AE are solved.The next build will bring improvements with VR too. I was able to fix many bugs when using VR. Maybe for some users there is another improvement in VR. I achieved a much better look with PostProcessing deactiva...

Pure 0.30 development preview

My dear patreons,In the last month i was optimizing Pure's complete code. I find out, how to speed it up. This took some days. Pure is now running very efficient and fast.After this, i was digging deep into the CSP clouds. I tried some new lighting models. With Pure 0.30 you see the one i prefer right now. In the next versions i will optimize it and expand it to other cloud types. For now you just have this lighing for the Cumulus (fluffy and big clouds). The Cirrostratus clouds have a very ...

The first test of 3d clouds in Pure

I tried a first implementation of "3D" clouds in Pure. I made the code from the ground and found and solved much problems of LUA.So actually you see unoptimized rendering. Everything is calculated every frame.There is no advanced clouds lighting code. This will cause more impact, but with the known optimization from Sol, the frame time of this clouds processing can be lowered drastically.My goal of this first implementation was a very stable code and very little garbage collection (data ...
