S K Y D C 0.4 - A Striking Difference
🕑 Added 2023-11-13 18:01:42 +0000 UTC
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!
Reflections
The 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 like! Have a look:
Top - PureCandy 0.205
Middle - S K Y D C 0.3
Botttom - S K Y D C 0.4
The reflections are more interesting, have more colors, more in touch to the world, and more accurate. It is complete change of vibe, closer to Driveclub's. You will most notice those changes in clear weather and overcast conditions.
S K Y's blindness with Pure's sunblinding shader
As you know, S K Y has its own blinding tech since 0.3. Only recently in 0.4preview, the sun can blind you. It worked very well but had some issues.
In 0.4, we are combining S K Y's blindness with Pure's sunblinding shaders. The results are absolutely fantastic. The shaders has a new analyzation that detects track geometry, clouds and cars. This corrects exposure behavior, meaning if a spot should be bright, it will be bright.
If you noticed in 0.4preview, when gazing at a wall at the sun's direction, the exposure stays low. Now that Pure's shaders provide perfect analyzation, it fixes that issue, making blinding work perfectly.
Changes and tweaks
Slightly reduced bloom for rain and at night time
pp page:
- Simplified
- Increased paperwhite maximum value from 0.700 to 1.000
- Added "paperwhite sky level"
If you feel the sky is too overblown, you can lower the sky level - Removed sliders: day sepia, reflection level, midday warm/cool ambient saturation.
Personally, I never once had to adjust those sliders, and chances are neither you did! - Added CPL override button in case you want to adjust reflections in photomode
What's Next?
If you noticed, I did not release S K Y 1.6 on Racedepartment. I wasn't happy with how S K Y G T 1.6 turned out to be: overly saturated, looks the same as 1.5, and night time bloom is a complete mess. So I reworked on it in the past week. A new test for S K Y G T and S K Y D R E A M 1.6 will come in the coming days for patrons and discord boosters only, and hopefully I will release 1.6 by the end of this month! It will include new stuff from pure 0.222 too.
Also, by the end of this month, there will be a new surprise for patrons, so stay tune for that!
Thank you
As always, thank you so much for your support!
Enjoy the full form of 0.4!

This is my new favorite, thank you SO much! I do have one issue maybe you can advise on - When doing drift events online, the (new) smoke is WAY too thick and too much. The Particle FX settings dont seem to adjust much at all, even when everything is turned all the way down. The only solution was to disable “New Smoke” effects and turn down the vanilla smoke. Is there a better way where I can keep the new smoke without it being so much?

did exactly that and it didnt help it : (

Everything on the game look great, but the menus on the game, apps, etc, in VR are almost unreadable , are very dark, at night it's a little better, but day time menus background and texts are same dark color so it´s very hard to read

Brake light exposure is kind of crazy
CAR FUSION
Thanks. Everything running smooth now :)
S L X C K
you need to install the ppfilters manually, never drag and drop in content manager
CAR FUSION
No, I run shader patch 0.2.1-preview2 with Pure 0.222. In Pure Config says "The current PP filter has not Pure script "
S L X C K
pure config on light and pp page
S L X C K
did you fix the issue?
CAR FUSION
I had the same issue. Make sure you select Pure on the Drive menu weather option. Dynamic: Pure
CAR FUSION
"No advance Tonemapping controls with the old Yebis" message with SkyDCpatreon . With the Sky04preview works fine
CAR FUSION
Thanks and great work. My favorite filter so far

Any settings you would recommend turning on or off or adjusting? I am using the presets and and installed current csp and pure. Doesnt seem to look as good as it should. Changed only resolution to my monitor setup 7768x1440 and getting avg 155 fps. Thanks! Awesome work by the way
S L X C K
I think I am going to say for the last time, please update to the latest version of pure and csp
