Experimental GFX Suite 1.3.0

GFX Suite
Source: https://github.com/ToniMacaroni/GfxSuite



A mod that aims to change various parts of the graphics pipeline in the game and also gives players more control over not only the final look but all sorts of settings.

It's my first mod, so if there are any issues please let me know ^^.
I am pretty sure you will run into issues when using other graphic mods at the same time (I haven't tried out this theory yet).

The mod has some very opinionated defaults and is definitely more tailored towards higher end PCs, but you are free to change anything around to your preference. I'm also very open to any sort of suggestion.

By default you can toggle the window with the = (equal) key which can be changed in the control settings.

Python script for converting HDRIs (In-Game utility available as well)
In art/custom_skies/ (or here https://github.com/ToniMacaroni/GfxSuite/tree/main/art/custom_skies) you will find a python script (and a bat file) that will allow you to convert hdri's to cubemaps used by BeamNG (it's also able to tonemap .hdr files into ldr, but you will need to tweak the values in the script yourself). To run the script you need python installed and "opencv-python", "pillow" and "numpy" installed via pip. Using the script is as simple as dragging the .png or .hdr file onto the bat and. The script will then place the output files in a new folder with the same name as the input file. Move this folder into %localappdata%/BeamNG.drive/latest/settings/gfxSuite/skies (create the folders if they don't exist)
