Cozy Autumn
This project completely overhauls the game's vanilla lighting engine to deliver a cinematic, hyper-realistic visual experience while maintaining balanced visibility for actual gameplay.
Features
HDR Tone Mapping: Implements an ACES Filmic curve to compress raw linear light data, preventing blownout highlights and preserving deep, rich contrast in the shadows.
Dynamic Atmosphere: Features custom atmospheric scattering for realistic time-of-day color transitions, combined with exponential depth fog and procedural volumetric clouds.
Advanced Reflections: Utilizes ray-marched Screen-Space Reflections (SSR) with environmental sky fallbacks and physically accurate Fresnel effects for realistic water physics.
