TrueLightFX Lite v5.3.2

Rain

• Fixed various bugs with the rain; a more realistic rain system overhaul has now been implemented!

GUI

• Removed the settings for rain droplet size & rain wet surface

Notes

• This is a patch update, noticeable via the v5.3.X versioning scheme (where “X” represents the patch number, e.g., the first performance patch is v5.3.1, and so on).

Out of the box Profile

• First-time Setup: Default shader settings now seamlessly match the "Medium" profile.

GUI

• Sun Rays Fixed: Addressed a bug where the God Rays toggle was completely missing from the shader settings. It is now properly available in the Lighting menu. • New Setting: Added a God Rays Intensity slider in the Lighting menu so users can manually adjust the brightness of the light shafts.

Notes

• This is a patch update, noticeable via the v5.3.X versioning scheme (where “X” represents the patch number, e.g., the first performance patch is v5.3.1, and so on).

• Fog Enhancement: Dynamic golden fog during daylight and sunrise/sunset, remains naturally dark at night and in caves • Fog slider fixed: No longer resets/reverts after changing values • Sun Rays (God Rays): Efficient screen-space effect creating visible light beams through trees and windows • Fixed some issues with water reflections • New underwater look

Water & Rain

• Underwater Caustics added: Animated light patterns underwater (uses performant sine-wave calculations instead of heavy 3D noise) • Caustics configurable in the Water & Rain tab

GUI
