CDimagined v1.9 beta – The Long-Awaited Update

The long-awaited update is finally here. After months of working on what we confidently believe is our best work yet, we have finally broken the silence. We can assure you, the outcome was worth the wait.
The main thought behind CDimagined was always to make midday actually look like midday. We saw that the potential of the visuals was hidden under a thick layer of unnecessary color grading in all post-processing filters, obscuring all the beautiful details – we decided to fix that.
Achieving raw, clear, and natural visuals is our vision. With many versions released, we can confidently say version 1.9 achieves what we have imagined. Our post-processing filter replaces all overdone color grading and tonemapping layers and leaves you with raw, realistic visuals.
Many things have been fixed and further improved since version 1.8 to the point that it almost feels like a different filter. It is now completely optimized for the latest versions of Pure Gamma.
New Tonemapping: Uchimura-AgX
We have completely reworked the tonemapping method. With version 1.8, we believed Lottes was the best. While working on 1.9, we understood its faults. Using Uchimura-AgX, everything has been rebalanced and stabilized.
Everything is Dynamic
Custom calculated values for every conceivable scenario using LUTs (Lookup Tables). Every sun angle, every hour, and every weather condition has now been hand-crafted for the best visuals.
Complete Utilization of Pure' Shaders
Changes have been made to lightning, ground fog, and sun blinding shaders to ensure the most immersive and diverse experience possible.
User Customization
Version 1.9 now features a limited set of simple sliders to make your game look even better based on your screen, without confusing you with tons of options.
No Encryption
Better performance and reading times due to more optimized code and no encryption, which means more frames in different scenarios compared to version 1.8.
