Exilitay Lite v1.01 PP Filter (Public Preview)

• This will be a free alternative to my paid filter, Exilitay Realism. Balanced and optimized for a lighter experience (Release details at the bottom of post)

• The overall look isn't as realistic as Exilitay Realism, and it won't include as many customisations and features as the paid version.

• However, this is the first version, and as I get more support and time, I will put more focus on Exilitay Lite.

Tone-Mapping

• In this version, I have included the three best tone maps in my opinion. Sensitometric, Uchimura & Lottes. I will implement custom tone mapping in the future, for richer colors and darker tones.

Exposure

• For the exposure, I'm using Pure's exposure handling tool, which is set to Hybrid by default and is the most advanced exposure method. It combines all 3 exposure methods (AE + CBE + YEBIS) and uses only the good parts of them.

• I've also implemented my Exposure LUT and included Daytime & Nighttime exposure sliders, which can be changed in-game.

Glare + Bloom

• This part of my script will have the most customizability, I've included daytime & nighttime Bloom Gamma adjustability. From testing, Bloom Gamma has the most visual changes and can affect the entire image, not just light emissives. There are also sliders for Glare Luminance & Threshold (Glare Luminance has more impact on light emissives, such as street lights or lights from cars)

Additional Features

• I've also worked on reflections, world/ambient lighting, gamma & more. With this filter, I want to achieve a unique look but focus primarily on world lighting and exposure for the best visibility and balanced visuals. I will implement color grading and improve the current features in the next update. If you have any more suggestions please let me know, as I would love to listen to the community :)

God-Rays & Sun-Blinding

• I've implemented similar God-rays as the ones from my paid filter, the only downside is there will be no customizability. For the Sun-blinding, I've kept them at very low values to give the image more visibility.

(Note: These photos were taken using my Ultra Settings Presets & with the Pure Gamma version of Exilitay Lite, they're the RAW 1440p images without any post-editing)

Information On The Release Of Exilitay Lite

•  I’ll be releasing Exilitay Lite when we hit 2000 free members on my Patreon. It's my way of giving back to this amazing community by offering a great free filter for everyone. Thank you for all your support so far! ❤️
