After nearly two years since our very first release of this PPfilter, we've always chosen to label our versions with a beta tag.
But after continuously refining every small detail, we've reached a point where it's time to leave the beta label behind. This release right here is the one—we can confidently say that our vision has been realized in Pure Gamma Space.
That doesn't mean development stops here—far from it. We'll continue updating the Gamma ...

Happy belated New Year, everyone! Here's the first update of the year: the filter is now fully adapted to Ambient V2 and optimized for Pure 2.38 & CSP 0.2.6.

Mainly reworked the filter from single ambient light method to tiled ambient light, thus making the ambient light more realistic.
Adapted to newer Pure (2.36)
- Reflections are now more dynamic and realistic.
- Exposure levels have been reduced.
- Light source changes are now more accurate.
- Sun saturation has been adjusted for improved accuracy.
- Sky hue and brightness levels are now more precise.
- Ambient light levels during midday have been increased to prevent overly dark scenes.
We removed the old brightness value and replaced it with exposure, making the filter much more dynamic and responsive to different times of day and conditions. Driving through a tunnel in SRP should now give you the "blinding effect." Reflections are now very LCS-like—we increased the reflection levels while taking exposure into account but compensated for it with CPL.
I also tried to optimize the script because there have been complaints that our filter was reduci...

The long-awaited update is finally here. After months of working on what we confidently believe is our best work yet, we have finally broken the silence. We can assure you, the outcome was worth the wait.
The main thought behind CDimagined was always to make midday actually look like midday. We saw that the potential of the visuals was hidden under a thick layer of unn...
