AC Real \ Pure - V1.58
MAP : Santa Monica Mountains, Scattered Clouds, 4:00 PM.Install Guide : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofWyiRhbfGE&t=15sThis mainly just fixes most of the edge-case issues with last update. The main thing that I just couldn't get over were the current brightness levels. This was fixed via a significant exposure rework(LCS only). The Gamma update also received a minor fix to make the grass mor...
AC Real - LCS V1.55
CSP Settings - Universal: https://acstuff.club/s/QMGZVideo Settings: https://acstuff.ru/s/fMJusYInstall Guide : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofWyiRhbfGE&t=15s This is my magnum opus. The best LCS update i could have ever come up with. I genuinely can't think of anything from GCS that can match what LCS now has to offer. I'm not gonna type out a paragraph.. Just use it and see for yourse...
AC Real - LCS V1.53
CSP Settings - Universal: https://acstuff.club/s/hCtGVideo Settings: https://acstuff.ru/s/fMJusYInstall Guide : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofWyiRhbfGE&t=15sHello, everyone! I'm super excited to finally be ready to release this for you all. I've been tinkering with Pure - LCS more and more as it continues to get better and better, and I got a little carried away this time around.Pretty...
The current state of LCS.
I’ve spent the last month deep-diving into how I can really make LCS as good as I think it can be, and I think I’ve made very significant progress. As the months go by, things will only get better and better. It’s at the point where I can confidently say that I’d use this over the Gamma iteration of the filter in almost every situation. The rest is CSP-sided, and there’s stuff in the wor...
AC Real - UI Update + NR Update
Hello! This month's update is mostly for quality-of -life. It brings a completely new look to the filter's menus. Pretty much everything important now has it's own special area within the "Pure-PP application. It's really nifty for making things easier to navigate.Also, the NR and LCS variants of the filter now make use of pure's PP suite, giving access to things like magic...
AC Real - Bloom Update
Adds support for pure's newest and most recent update. The biggest thing is that bloom is now much more accurate to how your eyes percieve light. Reflections, base lighting, etc have also been adjusted minorly to fit this change. There is also now working Film Grain.(Pure 2.5+ needed.)
AC Real LCS gets some TLC.
Spent some extra time over the last 2 months refining LCS until Pure and CSP’s next large update. You’ll love it.

The biggest request was to make some changes to how contrast was handled. Instead of JU...
AC Real - NR
Install Guide :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofWyiRhbfGECSP - Gamma : https://acstuff.club/s/zajORealism is something we've always strived for, but this is a little something for those on the other side of the coin. This filter specializes in bright, dream-like mornings, punchy middays, and dark, dramatic nights.This is a completely movie-ified version of the ACReal filter. The names are ju...
NR - The Cinematic Touch.
Someone challened me to make a filter that was purely cinematic.... the result came out much better than i thought. It's not necessarily realistic, but it isa sight to behold in terms of visual beauty. Coming 1/12/2025.P.S. there will also be performance optimizations and minor changes for the regular filters as well(to ensure compatibility with CSP 0.2.6 and Pure 2.38)

It was time for some big changes to be made. There's so much to go through, but I'll highlight the main changes. Install Guide : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofWyiRhbfGE&t=15sContrast, bloom, and exposure all now use completely different methods from before. Blindness is now scaled with bloom, brightness, and a few other things to give off a cinematic, DC-esque vibe. It's something ...
AC Real 2024 - v1.32 - Realism, Reimagined.
Hello, everyone! I am finally ready to present to you guys what I believe is the most versatile, realistic visuals to ever come to this game. There's a TON that's been changed, so let's get into it.First, Let's talk exposure.The last release was good, but it needed to be improved upon in terms of stability, and versatility. Things would get a bit wonky on overly bright maps, and al...

AC Real V1.29 - Creating more natural lighting.
Hey, we're back and another update is ready to be pushed out to you all! I felt that the last version of the filter still left a few things to be desired, so this update focused on improving performance, while also creating more soft, natural lighting that isn't harsh on the eyes. To achieve this the ambient light, reflections, bloom, and emissive lighting are now significantly more intens...

AC Real 2024 - V1.22
So, after a long wait(and many changes) V1.22 is finally here!The biggest change, however, is that the filter now works on a completely re-envisioned, all new auto-exposure system. This has access to 3 things: Sun Brightness, Ambient Environment brightness, and Directional ambient brightness. This is then leveraged using YEBIS Auto-exposure to create a poppy, bright image when necessary, while dar...
What's to come - AC Real May 2024.
A few much-needed things have been heavily re-vamped. The biggest change, however, will be the auto-exposure. It has been re-conceptualized from the ground up. It is now calculated using sun brightness, Ambient Light, and directional ambient lighting as factors to increase the feeling of being under the sun. Clear Weather, 4:00 PMTo help accentuate this feeling, reflections, Atmosphere, and ambien...
