A detailed description, how to install and get it working is included...


Version 1.1 of the filter added a better distant, sun and sky look. Also the overall brightness was tweaked.

The  solHDR__PEAK_BRIGHTNESS variable now adapts different monitors better.

For the best look, please update also Sol to 2.2 alpha 6:

i cant change anything in Sol Config inside apps within AC. Does it let you? I can switch the variable but it doesnt save or anything. And when the first screen pops up with the 4 variations of quality youre suppose to be able to select, like low, high, ultra and what not. I cant select it at all. Idk what I did wrong. Let me know if it lets you switch the settings.

Hi I can't seem to find Sol to 2.2 alpha 6 anywhere?

Hello, Sure, i will also try to add more information in the install guide later. The "white point" is a value of color balance, where white/gray colors are purely white or gray. In RGB format white or grey have the same amount of red, green and blue, like [0.9, 0.9, 0.9]. The lighting system in AC/CSP/weatherFX has 2 main components, sunlight and ambient light. Sunlight has mostly a touch of yellow, orange and red the lower the sun's angle is. Ambient light has mostly a touch of blue. If a material/texture of a track or car is litten by the sun, those 2 components come together. So the texture will be litten by slightly blue and slightly yellow/red light. If the texture has a white color, it will look in sun light a little bit yellow [0.92, 0.92, 0.88], because sunlight is stronger than ambient light. You can now shift the spectrum (white balance) to let it look white again. You shift the spectrum to colder colors. Otherwise in overcast weather the sunlight is missing and therfore all materials are litten by a slightly blue light, "white" will look blue [0.88, 0.88, 0.92]. Now you can shift the spectrum to warmer colors -> white will again look white. Thats what a camera can do, but its also what the brain does. It tries to imagin how white looks. In Sol's autoexposure filters (Sol HDR is an AE filter), this is done automatically. With the "solHDR__WHITE_POINT_PRECISION" variable, you can adjust the amount of that automatic control. Its very subjective, how this works for a person. So i recommend to set this variable to a value, where you "believe" overcast weather looks right out of your taste. The better this value is set, the more immersive is the driving.

Awesome works! I really enjoy it. But i can't understand what exactly about the "White Point". The higher parameter of the white point(0.5?? 0.85??) means the more whiter or brighter tone? Please would you explain more about this parameter?

Thanks. I'll keep fiddling :D

Callum McGurk

The value is set to 500 per default. If the average brightness in most situations (clear sky noon <> overcast evening) is too low, start in 25 steps to lower it. If its too bright, raise it. Just put it to a value, where you like the resulting image. I tried to make this simple with 1 parameter.

Peter Boese

For the peak brightness setting, which of the below would you use? HDR Real Scene Peak Brightness 526 cd/m² HDR Peak 2% Window 603 cd/m² HDR Peak 10% Window 603 cd/m² HDR Peak 25% Window 446cd/m² HDR Peak 50% Window 296 cd/m² HDR Peak 100% Window 140 cd/m² HDR Sustained 2% Window 576 cd/m² HDR Sustained 10% Window 579 cd/m² HDR Sustained 25% Window 427 cd/m² HDR Sustained 50% Window 282 cd/m² HDR Sustained 100% Window 135 cd/m²
