Would anyone happen to know what causes the change in lighting/shading for CSP Previews from Preview218 to Preview346?

I noticed when trying to update my car previews after going to CSP 1.80-preview346 that the lighting/shading was not the same from previews that were rendered in preview218, resulting in the exposure appearing brighter and blacks appearing much darker in comparison.

I took a comparison shot with an Encrypted Lamborghini Diablo GT model to show off what I'm referring to;

-

Preview218, how it used to appear beforehand.

Preview346, how it appears now.

Not sure what they changed to affect this. I thought it might've been a cause of the PPFilter since preview346 no longer resets it to "default" upon rendering, but trying a different filter doesn't seem to affect the final result.

Anyone knows what's up?

UPDATE:

It appears that the change may be partially attributed to the Tone Mapping that is used for previews.

The preview preset I had been using before used "Filmic" for its Tone Mapping Type.

Upon changing it to "Reinhard (Filmic)", this is now the result on preview346...

Its now VERY similar to how it appeared in preview218, albeit just a little bit brighter.

So whilst it does seem that there may still be a little more at play, the end result is now so similar to before that I can deal with the slight change in brightness.

I made my first Assetto Corsa track! I have no pictures or anything, but I took a past design I used for testing in Unity3D and converted it into an AC track. I was never able to make a track for any proper racing/driving game until today (and parts of yesterday). I learned I did everything right... except the scale was very small. Then after adjustments, it was very big. Once I found the sweet spot for the scale of my track, I made a perfect design. For some reason, when I first tried to export to FBX and then convert to KN5, I took some advice to export to FBX at 0.01, when I think someone meant 0.1 scale.

If I were to refine my creation, I need to profile it a lot better so it drives smoother. I also (obviously) have to add walls so I don't fly off the track and fall to Hell. What I might do is segment my course better and then maybe try to smoothen out any elevation changes I want to make. I made rudimentary textures to texture my track also. Obviously there, make better textures.

This was still good practice as I followed a handful of tutorials and took in whatever advice I could take. I may use Assetto Corsa to test my race track designs as I plan to offer them to be used for implementation into racing games and racing simulators as well as 3D media projects. Should I feel good enough about one of my projects, I'll share my work with you all.

For now though... race on! :)

I had to remove it. I had issues with auto exposure that did no wok correctly. After trying some edits I decided to drop the Pure version. There are errors of Pure like the monitor shaders that make the picture brighter instead of darker.

What monitor shader? and what PPfilter do you use?
 
[WIP] 1996 SKIN for Melbourne2019 by ACU (upd. by patrickpat and Sliderman)

It's always hard to adapt billboards but I try do my best with a nice result.
I'm not able to create new extension as Pyyer. Only I overwrite the existing textures.

Imola 1996 skin for RMI 1995-2005 is done and you can find it on Breathe's list.

Does anyone else notice with the TechnoracerX 8K and 4K skin for the Nordschleife, that some trees has a "blue-ish" tint?

Have tried the 4K Version and I noticed it too. Also noticed some huge anomalies on the tracks surface, easier noticable when watching replays than when driving (for example at the "Adenauer Forst" corner). Don't know if it's the same with the 8K version though

Okay, than it's not due to some graphics settings on my machine / monitors luckily. :)
I have this issue with every PP filter though.

Also in close-ups on the guardrail I notice some purple distortion.

Anyone know how to fix this? Some fences on road America changed like this months ago and could never figure out why. Clean reinstall of the track didn't fix it.

Its not all fences, just this specific model.

I have found the issue. It is a CSP thing and I talked with a very reputable track maker. It is the type of shader that was used on certain fences. This shader is now broken. Paste this into the config file and it will be fixed.

[SHADER_REPLACEMENT_...]
MATERIALS = catchfence
SHADER = ksPerPixelAT

Nothing happens also with CTRL+C

Ctrl - C works here. I did have issues at one point where car would go into reverse, but restart session corrected it. Not sure what caused it or how it came right, but it hasnt happened for a long time now

NICE! I was thinking about doing 1996/97 broadcast cams for acu_melbourne, as I was gonna drive Hill's Arrows on it. This will be perfect.

Sometimes it happens :boggled:

@DaWallace The gillett vertigo does something strange at the start. In practice, as soon as I start a race session, the car doesn't place itself on the starting grid normally but as soon as it touches the ground, it flies into the air like a reaction spring. Sometimes he lands like a cat, sometimes he mimics Guido from Cars. I don't know if it's a physics bug, but I wanted to let you know. Well, I don't deny that everything happens to me at the start... :(

Ahh I don't feel the need to add any TV cams here, as the included camera_8 does the job brilliantly. :D
 
another day another random issue, i have a feint green box that appears on my screen, first noticed it in the game and realised that it is not game related i can see it on a white background on my desktop. Does anyone know what this could be? it only appeared today i have updated my graphics drivers to no effect.

i also would love to take a pic and show you but i can't seem to get it to show in a picture.

anyone had this issue before?

thanks :)

Running 8K version here with the treeFX from RD (20K trees) and the trees are correct on my end BUT I do have the "shinier/weird" tarmac at some places...
