Hey mates, here's my newest PPFilter-Update. If you like it, please a review it @ RD ✌️
With the awaited release of Pure 0.75 it's time to release the update 1.5 of my PureLIFE filter-pack. As annonced the new version features two new filters, the PureLIFE EVO and PureLIFE EVO GT.
PureLIFE EVO was actually planned for version 1.2 but some of the new things requires Pure 0.7+ so I had to wait for Peter to finalizing it.
PureLIFE EVO is a decent evolution of the base
PureLIFE filter which has a slightly "enriched" look and supports the new exposure and vao control and the new "optimized photo look" via Pure config app. To make this possible a special .lua script is needed which is part of the .zip and will be copied to the right destination.
PureLIFE EVO GT was inspired by the upcoming release of
Gran Turismo 7. While watching the new showcase I thought it would be nice to have a great running filter that is based on my EVO filter but with a more vibrant and filmic look... The new filter itself has a decent glare, more vibrant colors, different contrast and more. To enhances the GT-look I've created a custom pure config that reduces the ambient lighting, changes the sky hue and saturation, daylight exposure and some more things. BTW: the config looks superb with PureLIFE & PureLIFE EVO too. Try it.
Features:
• optimized for PURE 0.75+
• clean and realistic look
• works very well with any daytime and any weather condition
• lightweight with low performance impact
• base PureLIFE filter works standalone - no Pure config adjustments needed
• latest Version 1.5 includes the brand-new "PureLIFE EVO" & PureLIFE EVO GT filters which supports all new Pure features like exposure and VAO control and the new "optimized photo look" via Pure config app.
• PureLIFE EVO GT also comes with a optional pure configuration. To use it properly please follow the steps in “Prepare Pure config app”
Recommendation & setup:
To have the best look in Assetto Corsa you should check your monitor settings. I’ve made the best experiences with resetting the monitor to factory settings, then turn on game mode and let the contrast, brightness and colors on default or tune it only in small steps.
⦁ Remove the old ppfilters first. Go to Steam folder -> steamapps -> common -> assettocorsa -> system -> cfg -> ppfilters and delete all .ini-files that contains "pureLIFE".
⦁ Install the new files. To do that simply copy the content of assettocorsa folder in the ZIP to your local assettocorsa folder. Overwrite if asked.
Prepare Pure config app: (and use custom “PureLIFE_EVO_GT” settings as default)
⦁ Start game and open pure config app
⦁ To try the custom settings, simply import “_PureLIFE_EVO_GT.config.ini”. If you like it and want to use is as standard, just head to step 3.
⦁ Be sure that you use the default pure settings (click “IMPORT” then choose “pure_config.ini”
⦁ Export actual pure_config.ini as default: On the bottom click “EXPORT”, “Save as…” and name it “default” or something.
⦁ Import “_PureLIFE_EVO_GT.config.ini”
⦁ Click “SAVE” (on the bottom). IMPORTANT! This sets it as default.
If you want to revert back and set the original pure settings as default, simply repeat the steps 5 & 6 but choose “pure_config.ini”.
History:
Version 0.8 (01/18/2022):
• initial release
Version 1.0 (01/20/2022)
• optimized Overcast and Nighttime
• several small fixes
• NEW: added "PURELife_AE" filter with auto exposure. Make it a bit more dynamic in dark scenarios and night
Version 1.1 (01/24/2022)
• optimized saturation and gamma
• some other small tweaks
• NEW: added "PureLIFE_for_SOL" filter that brings the advantages of PureLIFE to SOL. To make it work with all weather and daytime conditions without auto exposure I had to rework the glare, gamma and some HDR settings because of a strange behavior on moonrise and moonset.
• after including the SOL-filter it was necessary to rename the filters to separate them from the "Pure"-category. In the PPFilter app you'll find them now on the top as "-PureLIFE"
• NOTICE: no further improvements of PureLIFE_AE because auto exposure isn't supported in the release version of Pure.
Version 1.1.5 (02/03/2022)
• adjusted custom shape luminance
• NOTICE: PureLIFE_AE removed because auto exposure isn't supported in the release version of Pure.
Version 1.2 (01/24/2022)
not published
• optimized for PURE 0.70+
• optimized color temp and saturation
• optimized glare
• NEW: added "PureLIFE_EVO" filter. A new filter based on Peter Boese's brand-new "Pure"-filter which supports the new exposure and VAO control and the new "optimized photo look" via Pure set config (Pure 0.7 and above). This is huge. Try it!
Version 1.5 (02/10/2022)
• further optimizations
• NEW: added "PureLIFE_EVO GT" filter. Based on PureLIFE EVO with a glimpse of Gran Turismo. Enhanced exposure and contrast, more colorful, filmic glare, adjusted color temp and some other tweaks. Runs still great with a very low performance hit. If you want to get the look even closer to GT, import the custom settings as explained in “Prepare Pure config app:”
