S K Y 1.9 - Official Release! 3 ppfilters in 1
Gran Turismo is back!Based on feedback that I have received, to my surprise many preferred G T concept 1, the very first iteration of S K Y G T for LCS. Colors were more subdued, actually proving a theory of mine. When creating G T, I had a different approach which was to focus on color accuracy of GT7 instead of recreating the exact same coloration on things like grass. That lead to oversaturate the overall look, an issue that became more evident on the newest Pure versions. G T from 1.9 is a blend of all the works done so far while recapturin...
S K Y 1.9 - Biggest Update
1.9 update part 2 of 3!S K Y now combines all 3 art styles into one: DRIVECLUB and D R E A M now near perfectly completed; Gran Turismo is next!It took you long enough...Okay, why the long wait? If you've been a patron for a while, you know I don't release buggy messes. Merging TWO... wait not two.. THREE entirely different art styles into onepost-processing filter sounds exactly how it feels like: it's complicated and it needs to be done right. On top of that, I had to re-assess the overall look and feel of D C to make sure the DRI...
S K Y 1.9 - D C | Already Reached the Limits
Cranking everything up to 11. If you are a DRIVECLUB fan, you will feel at home.Were you blinded by its majesty?If you want to be blinded by glares for no reason, this is it, this is perfect mod for you. Linear color space enable us to do things that were not possible before. Recreating DRIVECLUB's tunnel effect, similarly, was a difficult challenge with Gamma color space. It was THE effect that I wanted to achieve since the beginning of the project. I mean.. it was kinda done but it wasn't really the proper way of doing it. S K Y D C&#...

S K Y G T SPEC II Concept III - Honing the GT Vibe
Concept II was all about fixing colors, Concept III is all aboutaddressing over-tuned colors, fixing warmness, contrast, brightness and a few bugs. Concept IIConcept IIIOne very important fix in particular was the taillights coloration:At high exposure, the lights became pink instead of the intended yellow. This is fixed in Concept III. You will also notice colors feel a bit more subdued with a bit more contrast and warmness to the overall image. Lighting will also feel less harsher, much closer to Concept I's brightness.With that, I am ver...
S K Y G T SPEC II Concept II - Photorealistic Grass...
I spent the whole month of September to fix one thing in particular, the grass.This may be my best build so far and for the first time, I can say with confidence that S K Y G T SPEC II is the closest ppfilter that looks like Gran Turismo 7 on Assetto Corsa, probably:There are a few differences here and there but I feel this is close enough. From failure after failure for almost 2 years, I think this is finally it (and we're not done yet). I was quite happy with overall look of SPEC II, as my first work on Pure LCS. The GT vibe was present a...
Pure 2.0 LCS is Game Changing - S K Y G T SPEC II Concept
ATTENTION!This build is extremely experimental. We are getting a little too much ahead of ourselves with this one. A lot of what has been done in the Concept build will most likely be changed in the future. Despite Pure already impressively closing the gap between Gamma and Linear color space (GSC and LCS), LCS is still in early development. It's also very important to note that 99.9% of car mods are not optimized for LCS!So what's new? Accurate lighting. Everything feels more right thanks to LCS.Pure & Linear Color Space creating the P...
Introducing S K Y - N A T U R A (hotfix)
Post update: Hotfix, fixed massive fps loss due to small typo! Sorry!S K Y N T, a.k.a NATURA, coined by ZEE!It is a replacement of the original S K Y G T available on OVERTAKE.GG. The original intent of S K Y G T was to create natural visuals inspired by the Gran Turismo franchise. A lot of people think it is THE Gran Turismo ppfilter, but it isn't! This is why I decided to create G T SPEC II. SPEC II IS supposed to be the Gran Turismo ppfilter for S K Y.Instead of creating natural visuals inspired by a video game, it is a no-brainer to cha...

Download Link for PatronsHow to link Discord on PatreonImproved Custom FogIf you didn't know, G T SPEC II ALPHA I is the very first pp-filter to integrate custom fog.

S K Y D C 0.5 - The Differences
This post is about showcasing the differences D C 0.5 makesPatrons can download S K Y D C 0.5 hereImproved Fog & AtmospherePure has an accurate yet basic implementation of the fog. Its simplicity makes it so the atmosphere feels lifeless, as if there's no air to breath. It is a problem since Pure's inception, which is also a reason why SOL can easily look superior to Pure! If Pure's fog is accurate and still look off, that must mean something is missing...In D C 0.5, I added that missing piece of the puzzle: I added some extra oomph...

S K Y G T SPEC II ALPHA - Fixed Glaring Issue
Requirement:Pure 0.222+CSP 0.2.1+Hey, S L X C K here. Happy new year everyone!I want to take the time to thank you all for the massive support you gave us throughout 2023. It was certainly a very busy year for me, but also a good year of learning. Coding took a lot of my time, so I feel it was very lackluster when it comes to uploading content on socials last year. Life balance isn't easy, so the idea of uploading more frequently on Youtube is a lot more challenging. In 2024, it will be a lot better. In the meantime, have a great new year a...
S K Y G T SPEC II - ALPHA
Requirement:Pure 0.222+CSP 2.1+Hey, S L X C K here. Happy holidays everyone!I promised last month I would deliver a new surprise by the end of November. I had a very important project on my way that had a tight deadline, which was December 15th. Now that it's done, I spent a couple of days tweaking and testing the new ppfilter to make sure it's releasable.So here it is, introducing S K Y G T SPEC II !!It is reinterpreted not only to look more photoreal, but also to look much closer to Gran Turismo 7's visuals.*Please note that the A...
S K Y D C 0.4 - A Striking Difference
Requirement:CSP 0.2.1+PURE 0.222+Hey S L X C K here! It's been very silent and slow for the past 2 months for CSP, Pure and ppfilter makers. We were waiting for the gods to deliver and they just did. We can now release what we've been cooking this whole time!We can finally release the full 0.4 experience!ReflectionsThe most important change are the reflections. In the preview, reflections were way too overblown. Now they are correct and extremely accurate, they're even scaringly close to how real life photograph reflections look lik...

Requirement: Pure 0.205+For CSP, grassFX, activate MSAAThe future is here!... or is it? DC "0.4preview" is a taste of things to come. *Please note that 0.4preview is not 0.4. The full 0.4 experience will come once a new pure update comes out.We took a gamble. Currently, 0.4preview is very experimental. A lot of visual aspects will suffer due to those experimentations, but we can safely say it looks MUCH better than 0.3.There's A LOT to cover:It's the update that fixes key major sore issues such as bloom & glare, exposure technic...

S K Y 1 Year Anniversary
A little bit late for the monthly updates :PS L X C K here, it's been a little over a year since S K Y got released on RaceDepartment, August 29th 2022. Today we are announcing the return S K Y D R E A M ppfilter, we're bringing it back!The return of S K Y D R E A MBack when the first version of S K Y got released on RaceDepartment, there was S K Y D R E A M, a variant of S K Y. Its intent was to simply add more bloom, but later got removed because it felt unnecessary to add a variant that... only adds bloom. You can easily lower or inc...

S K Y D C 0.3 - The most important update moving forward
VIDEOThis is by far, the most instrumental update for DC, to capture the DC vibe. This update took me a long time to figure. It introduces a new feature not done on any other ppfilters.Here's a fun fact, the update was supposed to come out around July 15 with no new feature implemented. It was just 0.3 with major fixes and overhauls, serving as a preview for another update for August, that would include the new feature. But here we are, I decided to spend the extra time to hone it and give you all a taste of it today: Blinding Lights.It is ...
