Oi folks,
It’s time for another Kappa Shader update. This was originally supposed to be version 5.0b, but as changed started to add up it became more than just a minor bugfix update, although there are a lot of bugs that have been fixed with this version.
Something that I would like to highlight is the subtle shift in colour grading that is part of this update, which is caused by the addition of my own film stock response emulation that basically allows me to fine tune the colour response across the full internal HDR luminance range in an organic way. This addition should provide some slightly nicer and more pleasing visuals across the board.
Another noteworthy addition is the possibility to select the display output gamut in the shaderpack settings, which allows those of you who are using a wide gamut display to get the intended look without everything being extremely saturated.
Aside from these two additions there are also a lot of bugfixes as you can see in the changelog below. I hope that you’ll enjoy this update :)
